A Short History of WRAD
aka “Wrad the great unauthorized etc…”
Western Roots Artistic Directors -- an equal opportunity secret society -- was founded on the three principals of Trust, Honesty, and Respect. The handful of inaugural members met in random patterns apparently by chance and over time maintained fraternal if distant relations, holding informal council at sporadic intervals as early as 1970's CE. After more than two decades they began to actively seek each other out, and since the late 1990's the new, hand-picked WRAD has met annually at a closely guarded, undisclosed location “somewhere in western Canada” to ensure their conversations are completely private, thus fulfilling a prophecy passed down from a famous Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay himself, shortly before he was burned at the stake for heresy back in 1314.
