Brother James H. Russell

 -1987-


A master's job is never done, it lives on through the ages.

 

The annual Installation of Officers was held on Saturday December 20, 1986 at 8 p.m. and was closed in due form. After the installation light refreshments were served in the dining hall.

In January the new folding chairs had arrived and the old ones were being disposed of by the building committee. It was moved by motion and vote to take candidates to a couple of other local lodges that were slow so that they would be able to confer some degrees and maintain their proficiency in doing degree work.

In February the bylaws of our new Temple Association were read and approved and it was also moved and seconded that we advance them $500.00 to be able to start a checkbook.

At the stated meeting in March Bro. Edgar E. Kenneaster received his 50-year pin, by Worshipful Brother Charles Bersani, Inspector of the 416th Masonic District.

In May it was moved and seconded that the Worshipful Master appoint a committee of Past Masters of Clovis Lodge to steer the new Temple Association in the right direction, and also the annual Past Masters night which was enjoyed by all.

At the stated meeting in June Bro's. Fred Biglione and John Foster Hamilton received their 50-year pins, each gave a short talk on their years in Masonry.

In August it was moved and seconded to replace a member of the newly formed Temple Association and it was also moved and seconded to replace him with another member that same evening.

In October the Junior Warden was forced to resign and his seat was to remain vacant until the following year. Bro. Max Wilson, Past Master of Clovis Lodge, was presented a Past Masters apron and case.

Brethren lost to death in this year were Bro's. Emery Eugene Hurst, Carl Bernhard Gardner, John Byde Merritt, Clarence Allen Lushbaugh, John H. Ballow, Troy Lealon Green, James Vincent Leslie Bradley and Raymond Carl Kramer.
