A Chat With The Managing Editor
Well, we just returned from our Knight Templar magazine pilgrimage to Malta, Rhodes, and Athens. Nine Sir Knights and their ladies and friends came along on the trip. We are all a bit exhausted after the adventure. The pilgrimage was designed to give us an in-depth understanding of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John and the time they spent in Rhodes and Malta. Sir Knights Gary Jascur, Joe Brillhart, Jock Slavin, Dan Beaty, Jeff Nelson, Paul Robinson, and Frank Moore are now certified experts. Maybe they would be willing to share their photos with you. We visited castles, fortified cities, hospitals, acropoli, ancient ports, Greek temples, and archaeological museums. We also had time for shopping and sampling the local cuisine. I believe the participants felt it was a complete success. We will try to plan another pilgrimage in the near future.
