Owen Olson, at 94 years old, is a gregarious guy. Sit with him awhile—preferably, in his favorite spot in the Union City Home lobby—and he’ll joke about wearing his shirt untucked in the latest fashion, and his envy for John Wayne’s big strong teeth. He’ll tell you stories about growing up in New York City, thinking that the world began and ended at the city limits. He’ll tell you about joining the Navy, and traveling the globe.
It is around 1755 in Germany that different groups called the Golden Cross, and the Rosy Cross appeared. At this time, none of these groups were real parts of Freemasonry.

Once a year the brethren of Nautilus Lodge in Sunderland celebrate the last meeting before the summer recess, with a Nautical Night. The evening is a celebration of all things Nautical and is also open to non-masons. This offers a fantastic opportunity for non-masons to go inside a full lodge room, to see a lecture and then, retire to the festive board for the famous gastronomical delights of the Nautilus Pie as well as the renowned Nautilus hospitality, harmony and friendship.
