Historical Story

“During the Ceremonial of the Supreme Queen’s visit, held in the Biloxi Beach Motel, a janitor started backing out of a supply closet. Since no non-Nile members are allowed, he was pushed back into the closet. A chair was placed in front of the door, with a Princess sitting on the chair. At the end of the Ceremonial, a horrific noise was taking place in the closet: the janitor had gone to sleep and was snoring loudly!”

Best Founder's Visit

“Frances (Hobbs) Williams, PQ, who was a founding member of Miriam Temple, said that the Seattle Ladies made several trips to Victoria because of the interest in forming a Daughters of the Nile Temple there. On one occasion, Frances was driving Founder Mabel Krows and three other ladies down Government Street in Victoria when her car lost a wheel. This certainly caused some excitement and the ladies were a bit shook up, but fortunately no one was injured.”
