World Premier of the CoBL Blog

I am working on a project, to write a book providing the clearest and most concise account of the travels of the Cup of Brotherly Love's 1929 -1958 Journey around the world.  The book will hopefully be complete within a year's time.  Provided I get off my butt and finish it.

The First finished project is the completion of the List of presentations since its return in 1958.  To date, the Cup has been presented 206 times, mostly in the Chicago area, with a few trips to California, New York, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.  There was one International journey to visit two lodges in Dublin Ireland.  Lodge 500 and the Duke of York Lodge #25, both in Dublin.

I have written to Lodge 500 in Dublin to see if there are any photographs of the presentation that they may be able to share.

The Blog

This is a work in progress, bits and pieces that I am scraping together as I research the Cup and it's travels.   The finished product will be in the book which I am writing about the Cup and its Journey.  

The Book

Is not quite done, but is a work in progress.  I have a good base, but the finite details need to be researched and added.  I am going through the Book of Travel and going Lodge by Lodge and chronicling the journey and plotting it on a map as seen on the home page of this blog.
