It appears that with a little help from a PAERIE list member, the PRESQUE ISLE COMMANERY flagholder that Joyce has had for several days as the mystery marker, is in fact representative of the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. See the Latin motto in the symbol on this web page - http://www.yorkrite.com/KTlinks.htm - which matches the motto in the middle of the flagholder. The Order of Knights Templar is part of the Masons and is described at http://www.knightstemplar.org/freqaq.html if interested.
