2021 Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Photos with Travis Simpkins

R.W. Jeffrey Wonderling, Grand Master of the Grand  Lodge of Pennsylvania with Travis Simpkins

I had a wonderful time in Pittsburgh at the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Sunday night was the farewell banquet for Right Worshipful Past Grand Master Thomas Gamon. Monday was the installation of officers and a banquet for Jeffrey Wonderling, the new Right Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. I had fun catching up with friends M.W. Keith Newton, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ohio as well as R.W. David Tucker, Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. My wife, Janet Simpkins, and I were able to see our friend Paul J. Roup installed as the new Junior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. I also was able to have a great chat with M.W. Robert B. Ellston, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island.

The Eastern Star Journal Features Portrait of Rob Morris by Travis Simpkins on Cover of Current Issue

The Eastern Star Journal Features Portrait of Rob Morris by Travis Simpkins on Cover

     The October 2019 issue of The Eastern Star Journal features artwork by both myself and my wife, Janet. This edition is focused on Dr. Rob Morris and my portrait of him is on the cover. Janet's mini painting of the Star is included inside on page 8 as well. We each gave shout-outs to Stella Chapter #3 in Auburn, Massachusetts.
     Thanks to the General Grand Chapter in Washington, D.C. for reaching out to us. Dr. Rob Morris is one of my favorite Masonic historical figures and I'm proud to have contributed the cover artwork for the national publication of the Order he founded. It is doubly meaningful to see my wife's art in the same magazine.

Scottish Rite Valley of Danville Illinois Welcomes Travis Simpkins as Special Guest

Scottish Rite Valley of Danville, Illinois. NMJ. Travis Simpkins

     Thanks to the Scottish Rite Valley of Danville for the honor. It's good to know that my work is appreciated. It was certainly a memorable four days here in Illinois. One of the many highlights was presenting the reunion sponsor, Illustrious R. Steve Bell 33, with the portrait I made of him for the occasion.
