In 1944, a group of Masons from Winston-Salem trav eled to Charlotte to join the Rameses Temple. After they returned, they began the Red Fez Club under the Rameses' charter since rules forbade temples to be within 28 miles of one another. (Greensboro already had the Khalif Temple.) After a request from North Carolina lead ership at a National Imperial Session, the rules were changed, allowing temples to be at least 10 miles apart. Sethos Temple was founded in 1946, tak ing its name from the son of Egyptian Pharaoh Rameses II. Among the group's founding members were Russell Funeral Home founder Carl Russell and fellow funeral home founder Clark S. Brown, who hosted the first Sethos Temple meeting at the Patterson Avenue funeral home that bears his name. Sethos Temple has 65 members. Membership is open to members of masonic organizations. It's an affiliate of Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine, Inc., which is composed of 224 Temples and more than 25,000 members world wide. Illustrious Potentate Reginald L.
