Warren,

I received this from Brother Chuck Ogden and felt that it was worthy of passing on to you.

Here is news of a very educational and worthwhile television production which should be of interest to every Mason and every member of his family.

The program is called "Mr. Dreyfuss Goes to Washington" and features famed actor Richard Dreyfuss as the narrator of a fascinating exploration of some of our most precious national monuments and historic sites in our nation's capital.

Prominently described is the role played by Masons in the concept, design, and construction of so many of these famed landmarks, not just the laying of cornerstones. The program is scheduled to be broadcast in prime time on The History Channel on Monday, November 26, from 9 to 11 p.m., (some areas 10 to midnight) and rebroadcast Tuesday, November 27, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Please spread the word for all Masons, members of their families, friends and prospective members to view this program. It is a wonderful patriotic film, especially meaningful in this time of war against those who threaten our way of life.You will also be interested to know that a 35-minute version of this video will broadcast to 100,000 schools across the nation in January. More details on this to follow. The film was produced by Richard Dreyfuss, and R. W. Akram Elias, a member of the Grand Line of the Grand Lodge of Washington, D.C.

The Washington, D.C. Grand Lodge is one of the sponsors of the project. We will furnish more details as we get them, but thought you would want to be alerted to this program. It gets a rave review from me.

Fraternally,
