The Valley Voice July 2010 Edition Commander-in-Chief Message   Ladies and Brethren, What a humbling experience and honor it is to be your new Commander-in-Chief.  It is quite a privilege and I will do my best to further Scottish Rite Masonry in Coudersport.   I will depend on all the great people who have kept Coudersport alive and well and will do my best to build and maintain membership.  This is your Consistory, they only let me be your leader for a couple of years.           Again I would like to thank all the people who encouraged and helped me along the way.  Please don’t desert me now.  I would like to congratulate John Wells for a very successful year.  If there is anything you would like to see changed please let me know.  I will try my best to accommodate you. Fraternally yours, Paul L. Coulter, 33° Commander in Chief   @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ In Memoriam The following Brethren have passed since our last edition of the Valley Voice.
