• "Hello, I am the great granddaughter of Archibald McAllister. Browsing through your very interesting history section, I discovered that Archibald Mcallister had been awarded the honour of Grand Marshal in 1944 in recognition of his 37 years as Treasurer. As you can imagine, I am very proud of my roots. I also know my own grandfather James and a band of brothers were also members of Barns O'Clyde. I would be most grateful if you could send me any other information you may have about the McAllister family of that time. Addresses, spouses names etc, so I can proceed with my family tree, thanking you in anticipation. Adrianne Elizabeth nee: McAllister "

• " It was my great pleasure to witness the MM Degree conferral the evening of 20 Feb. at Lodge Clydebank No. 1234. The work/ritual was of the highest standard I have observed in any jurisdiction.... within or without Scotland! I was pleased to present the current Right Worshipful Masters of Lodge No. 1234 and Lodge No. 1018 with a commemorative Wyoming Bucking Horse Masonic Lapel Badge on behalf of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Wyoming-Ill. Brother Richard Lewis. A brief history of the pin was tendered explaining it to be the symbol of the State of Wyoming and that it was patterned after a famous rodeo bucking horse named "Steamboat". The name being derived from the sound the horse made while breathing heavily in rodeo events...following the breaking of bones in the horse's nose and subsequent healing, when breathing heavily it had the sound of a riverboat whistle...hence Steamboat. Fraternal Greetings were extended to the assembled Scottish Brethren on behalf of the Wyoming Grand Master and Lodge Clydebank was thanked for their hospitality and courtesies. All in all...a lovely evening was shared by all present. "
