David Morgan's Pin Design
 
In recent years, each Grand Master has had a pin struck for distribution amongst the craft. Each pin is different and represents ideas important to each Grand Master - and this is the Grand Master's vision for his pin:

Keeping with the history of the Grand Lodge of Indiana since 1992, I have designed a Grand Master’s Pin
for the 2022-2023 year. This pin has special meaning not only for what it represents but for who it
honors. I have spoken about how we are a family and about the strong connections that we have with
one another by being Freemasons. I belong to a strong and connected family line and the last five Past
Grand Masters from my family have each designed special pins for their year. I have used something
from each of their pins in my design to honor them and what they proudly stand for.

From Past Grand Master Bill Blasingame I discovered more about becoming a better man with a focus
on areas of youth groups, education, and following one’s passions. From Past Grand Master Richard W.
Wierzba I learned about committing time and resources to our Indiana Masonic Home at Compass Park
and in doing so, touching the lives of our many Brothers and Sisters. From Past Grand Master Jim
Barkdull, I learned about setting an example for others by living up to our obligations as Freemasons and
what it means to be proud to be a Freemason. From Past Grand Master Greg Walbridge, I learned the
value of building strong relationships based on the three virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity as we walk
our many paths in life. From Past Grand Master Carey B. Carter, I came to a better understanding of
what it means to be a proud Freemason in the State of Indiana and as a citizen of this great nation. Each
pin was adorned with a message to remind us how we should meet, act and part during our journey as
Masons.

The 2022-2023 Grand Master Pin has an outer ring of purple representing the Grand Lodge of Indiana
with a message of Proud to be a Freemason. The center portion of the pin is blue representing the Blue
Lodges with a message of Faith, Hope, Charity, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. The purple of our
fraternity is the Grand Lodge supporting the Square &amp; Compass and the Craft. The Bell Tower supported

by the Square and Compass signifies our lodges and members which supports the Indiana Masonic
Home at Compass Park providing a dignified and quality of live for our fraternal members.
I have had the privilege to serve on the Indiana Masonic Home at Compass Park Board of Directors since
2015. It is difficult to put into words how much the experience of serving on the board has touched my
life. Being a small part of the changes and seeing firsthand how we as Freemasons are making life better
for others. This joy lives inside of me and I can only hope that I can share that joy with everyone around
me.
