Masonry at its finest. That would sum up our November meeting. A father (MW Jeffrey B. Hodgdon) raising his son (Bro. Todd Hodgdon) as a fourth generation Mason in our Lodge. An older brother (Bro. Jeff E. Hodgdon) and close family member (Bro. Paul Rowe) acting as gates in his raising to the sublime degree. Family and friends, members of our Lodge, performing ritual and welcoming several new Brothers into our Fraternity and into our fine Lodge. When the father happens to be a third generation Past Master of our Lodge, a Trustee, and the Grand Master you can bet it was a special night. More than 50 visitors were members of Grand Lodge, past Grand Officers, and included several Past Grand Masters! In total, more than 100 attendees were privileged to join in and witness this grand event. I would like to thank all of them for attending and for their kind words. I would also like to thank Brother Constance Calliontzis, uncle to one of our new Master Masons (Brother Michael Anagnos) for attending us in the East for his nephew’s raising.
