Masonic Study Unit: American Topical Association Affiliate

Welcome to the New Home!

Our Masonic Study Unit is going through a transformation. In recent years, due to lack of participation and interest the unit had fallen into limbo.

In 2026, during a meeting of the George Washington Masonic Stamp Club, members discussed news that the American Topical Association had delisted our unit. After trying for a couple weeks, Jeffrey Coney was not able to reach Gene Fricks through online messages or email and was unable to find a good phone number for him.

Our Assistant Secretary, Casey Palowitch, suggested that GWMSC resurrect the unit. With the approval of the GWMSC members present, Palowitch contacted the ATA, which in turn re-listed the Unit. Jeffrey Coney, who created and has maintained the websites for the GWMSC, MSCNY, and MSU, then began planning to consolidate all three into one website — combining the libraries of work into one searchable archive and expanding the site’s features and capabilities.

The individual domain names survive, but now all three direct the public to this consolidated website.
