Deja vu in Vietnam!<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I thought I would share one on those literally one in a billion chance meetings involving the RA and the Craft in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In the middle of nowhere – literally on the top of the Hai Van Pass a road over a hill between Da Nang and Hue! I commented on this chap\u2019s cap as I act for Farmlands in New Zealand – and knew he had to be NZer but didn’t know who he was …. we chatted away and met up again\u00a010 minutes later<\/span>\u00a0for another passing chat and eventually he told me to use a certain tailor in Hoi An (where we are now) and he mentioned he’d had tails made…. then I said, ” I was always taught to be cautious but why tails in this day and age?” A handshake\u2026\u2026We chatted more as craftsmen then he said are you in the Royal Arch and the rest they say is history.<\/p>\n

Turns out it was ME Comp Bruce Hibberd PGZ\u00a0 from Wanaka and myself the current Grand Registrar \u00a0for the Royal Arch at a chance meeting on a hillside and a chance remark by myself leads to a chat then over a casual conversation between two NZers leads to a fraternal bond.<\/p>\n
