In observance of this year's Patriot's Day Friendship-Bray Chapter had a very special surprise guest join them; none other than one of our founding fathers of America -- Benjamin Franklin!    Dr. Franklin discussed how America was formed, and talked about many of his discoveries and inventions. He also discussed taking the responsibility of leadership back in "his day" and now, and many other interesting facts.  How many of you knew that Ben Franklin invented swim fins when he was on the swim team at age 14?

Dr. Franklin was brought to life in the Chapter thanks to a well-known and accomplished musician, actor and historic tour guide by the name of Mr. Rob Carroll.   Mr. Carroll graciously volunteered his time and talent to talk to our Chapter yesterday because he knows how important DeMolay is -- he used to be involved in the organization as a young man in New Jersey.  When he was asked to speak to a DeMolay Chapter, he immediately said he'd be delghted to do so.  Mr. Carroll's official website is here  http://www.zootpro.com/befreeindex.htm.
