I received an confirmation from Connie Lee Carlisle Carlson Grand Secretary Knights Templar of America OSMTJ-USA. Since i live in Sarasota, Fl i assume it is Tampa, though it didn’t state exactly. I paid the $65 on-line, I still have the email.

I applied back in early October and was accepted on Oct 8th 🙂 A very exciting day for me.

I had heard and read stories about the Knights Templar, even seen a few specials on them on TV. It wasn’t until I read the web page here that a lot of the story and history became clear. What struck me was their dedication to GOD and duty. It made me want to be part of the history.

My name is Richard LaPierre, friends call me Rick. I am originally from upstate NY, the Adirondacks, and moved to Fl last year. I now live in the Sarasota area and LOVE the lack of snow. I retired from Law Enforcement after 25 years, worked PT as School Security, Campus Police, Public Safety , Asst, Dir of Public Safety , and was certified in Computer Forensics. I believe deeply this Country was Blessed by GOD, and we are losing that Blessing by straying off the path and taking GOD out of our schools and lives. My hopes are that as member of this great organization, I will find others willing to stand and speak out against the constant assault on our values.
