Brent Morris in Albuquerque April 2, 2011

Because of some unexpected health issues, I have been forced to cancel all of my speaking events in April. The Grand Lodge of New Mexico, the New Mexico Lodge of Research and the New Mexico Second Circle of the Masonic Society all had three events planned for my visit to Albuquerque at the beginning of April. My good friend and Brother S. Brent Morris ("The Complete Idiot's Guide To Freemasonry") has graciously agreed to step in at the last minute and appear at all three, in a true demonstration of how an Idiot covers for a Dummy.

I deeply appreciate Brent for leaping through some scheduling hoops to make this work without much warning, as well as the brethren in New Mexico for their kind understanding.
