From 1983 to 1995 his Blue Lodge involvement was limited due to a transfer to Arizona, but that didn’t deter his involvement with the Scottish Rite in the Valley of Joplin. Having already obtained a pilots license, he bought an airplane and flew back to Missouri to make the Reunions once each year, missing only a couple of years due to scheduling arrangements beyond his control. Since retiring in the mid 1990’s, Huey’s Blue Lodge and Scottish Rite schedules have been non-stop. R:.W:.B:. Higgins’ zeal for Masonry has been an inspiration to many, many brethren including his two twin sons, Bro's David and Daniel whom Huey Raised to Master Mason in August of 2000, the proudest moment of his Masonic career. He visits Southwest Missouri area lodges on an average of 3 nights per week to help with degree work and to promote the Scottish Rite and will accompany DDGM Gray on his Official Lodge visits.
