Some friends make you laugh, some make you feel loved.
Some friends keep your deepest secrets, some keep you honest.
Some friends walk through life with you,
Some dream with you and some even cry with you
and there are my Pythian friends...who do it all.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
My Pythian Friends!
Gwen Rhodes, Supreme Manager

August 2016—Six Oregon Pythians attended the
Supreme Convention in Cleveland, Ohio: SR’s Ed
Yates, Donna Johnson and Beverly Cox, plus PSR
Shelley Corby and PSC’s Kathlene Henry. and
Margaret Grochocki.
Supreme sessions were presided over by Supreme
Chancellor Keith Stooksberry from Ohio and
Supreme Chief Sandy Symons from Ontario,
Canada. The motto of their 2-year term was “Making
a Difference Together.” The Supreme Convention
Committee did a great job, offering limo rides to/from
the airport and plenty of outings for our enjoyment. A
few of our favorites were trips to see the musical Billy
Elliot, a Nautica dinner cruise on Lake Erie and a trip
to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Some of the special highlights of this year’s
convention were: SC Sandy asked PSC Kathlene to
serve as Mistress of Ceremonies for the Sisters’
Opening Ceremonies and preside over the ReObligation Ceremony on Monday morning. The
Sisters’ Re-Obligation Service is very special to
Oregon Pythian Sisters because this beautiful
ceremony was written by Oregon Sister Cobie
DeLespinase many decades ago. SC Sandy’s
Tuesday session was “wear pink day” for all who
have been affected by cancer. Shelley Corby,
Karmen Kennerly and Donna Zinchuk were
introduced as officers of the International Grand
Secretary/Treasurers’ Association; SC Sandy gave
Supreme Chief’s Awards to the following Oregon
Sisters: Maureen Murphy, PSR for exemplifying true
Pythian kindness and compassion; Sarah Owens,
PSR for excellence in Ritualistic Work; and PSC
Kathlene Henry for service to the Pythian Sisters.
Sessions concluded on Wednesday with Joint
Installation of Officers. The incoming Supreme
Chancellor is Alan Krell from New York and the
Supreme Chief is Nancy Hall from Iowa.
The 2018 Supreme Convention is scheduled to be in
New York—location and dates to be announced later.

Editor’s Notes:
1) This historical article was most likely written decades ago,
however the information about our Pythian Order is timeless.
2) In 1995, when he was Supreme Chancellor, the late Sir Darrell
L. Henry, PSC was given a beautiful Pythian Sword, engraved with
his full name and title. I believe it was a gift from Oregon’s Brother
Knights when he received the honor of Golden Spur.

Information submitted by Donna Johnson, SR, GPC, 2017 Convention Co-Chair

Dear Brothers, Sisters, Family and Friends,
Once again I say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who faithfully sent in
articles and photos for the Oregon Pythian News. We say this over and
over, however it really is true: “Without YOU, we wouldn’t have any
OPN news to read and enjoy! From the feedback we hear, it seems
that “everyone” likes to read the OPN, however in order to be able to
read it, someone (many members actually) need to take the time to
write down their stories and send them in—preferably with pictures!.
Facebook has made this process a bit easier.
Contributors who deserve special thanks are GC’s Mike and Paula
Talbot, Bill Peal, Ray Cable, Shelley Corby, Robyn Neeley,
Kimberly Brown, Corinthia Bethune and Rebecca LohKamp. (And
to Shelley again for being our proofreader!) Also, to Mike Harmes for
maintaining the OregonPythians.org website where 12 years of OPNs
are posted.
In 2017, we’re hoping to go back to 3 issues of the OPN—Spring,
Summer and Holiday issues. Please continue your support of the OPN.
We appreciate all support: OPN Boosters, Holiday Greetings,
advertisements and donations—even coin marches from regular and
district meetings. OPN Boosters (see chart on right) contribute an extra
$8 or $10 to help defray the cost of printing and postage for our older
and/or housebound members who cannot get the OPN via the internet.
or at their lodge or temple meetings.
Request: If you change your email address or postal mailing address,
please promptly notify both the OPN and your Grand Secretary. If
you’re currently receiving a paper copy of the OPN via postal mail and
you’re willing to switch to email, please let me know. Any names we
can remove from the “snail mail” list save precious OPN budget
money.
If you have suggestions for the OPN, please submit those also. We’re
always looking for new ideas.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for the New Year!
Kathlene
