Earlier XHH2@LEHIGH.EDU  said this to ALL  about Re: Sciots?:


X>Being a Frenchman, I would like first to add something to Ron's

X>            * GLF     Grande Loge Francaise

Xavier,

I knew there were several GL's in France.  I had no idea there were that many
though.  Thanks for the info and welcome to our little network.
