Paternal Elk/Eagle Order?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Elks are BPOE - Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Grandpa Weed was an Elk, but I know the initials mostly from seeing the signs at various city limits saying what unions and lodges are in town.
I'm not familiar with P.E.O. but I have never lived in the Midwest, so there you go.

They still haven't revealed the secret rituals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's what they say NOW.

I've never heard of PEO before, and now am fascinated, and enjoy the speculation that it stands for Protect Each Other.

Watching NOVA on lightning sprites (ionosphere flashes above strong lightning strike, first definitively documented in 1989) SO FUCKING AWESOME. We're only just beginning to figure them out! There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio...

Women who you would never believe would drink the Kool-Aid refused to reveal anything about PEO.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Huh, now I'm wondering if that was the org. my grandma belonged to. I'd never heard of it until my dad and his siblings mentioned it at her funeral. They were always so curious as to what it stood for, and she absolutely refused to say. I can't remember the initials they mentioned, but that could have been it! Will have to ask my dad.
