On October 15th, 2010, 10 Master Masons from across the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New Mexico came together in Santa Fe to complete 3 days of intensive Masonic degree work. Each of these Master Masons petitioned to receive the Scottish Rite Degrees from the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite (Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A), Orient of New Mexico, Valley of Santa Fe as candidates for further knowledge within Scottish Rite Masonry (Fall Class 230). Of these 10 Master Masons 1 was from Temple 6 - Bro. Jay Johnston.
