During an August visit to see his oldest son, Ronald Jr., Junior Grand Deacon, who is living in Singapore, Ronald A. Aungst Sr., R.W. Grand Master, was invited to attend Sir Stamford Raffles Lodge No. 7444. The invitation to attend was extended by Bro. and Dr. Roger Pang, Representative to the District Grand Lodge of the Eastern Archipalego. During the evening's meeting, the brethren conferred a Master Mason degree, which while significantly different from our Pennsylvania ritual, in essence portrayed the same meaning.

"The cordiality and fraternalism among our brethren in Singapore was outstanding; although thousands of miles away, they truly made us feel at home," Grand Master Aungst said.
