Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Edward N. Thompson, and is brought to us by WBro David Koncz, PM – United #8, Brunswick ME. Each year, the Christmas season is brightened by the Poinsettia, which has become the traditional Christmas flower. It is named for the American statesman who first brought it from it’s native Mexico. This is the story of the man who gave a lifetime of service to America and to Freemasonry. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
