We have a variety of interests as you can see below.

Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem
Both of us have been knighted. This organization is founded with Christian ideals and genuine sense of friendship and camaraderie. Marston will soon be editor of the Beauseant, the national magazine for this organization. Kathy will be assisting him to produce the quality magazine. You can find out more about this organization on their website.

Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States
Marston joined the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States this year at the invitation of a close friend, Tom Curtis (who painted the Watson portraits). Almost before the ink was dry on the membership certificate, Marston was apponted “Editor-in-Chief” of the MOLLUS Journal. Our family and friends will hear a great deal about the organization from us in the future as Kathy is Assistant Editor and a DOLLUS member (Dames of the Loyal Legion of the United States). Look here MOLLUS for more information.

Genealogy
Kathy facilitates a genealogy software users group. The Master Genealogist (TMG) offers more than your typical lineage-linked database. There's no limit to the amount or type of information you can store on any individual, nor on the size of the field in which you put the data....everything a genealogist could want. At the users group, members learn all the tips and tricks to using the software, which is developed by Wholly Genes. If you are a new user of TMG, go to TMG Procedures where you will find help in learning how to use the software.

TMG - the best genealogy software

St. Paul's Episcopal Church
St. Paul's is a place to belong and we are both deeply involved as strong believers in Christ. We create the lay reader/cup bearer schedule and have done so for over 5 years. You can visit St. Paul's on the web or better yet, in person!
