Ashlar Lodge No. 98 Recognizes Past Master and Senior Members

August 3, 2017 - St. Augustine—Ashlar Lodge No. 98 Free and Accepted Masons honored a 50-year Mason; presented a Past-Master’s Apron to its oldest living Past Master; and recognized its Senior Members at the Lodge’s Stated Communication on Thursday, August 3, 2017, at the Masonic Temple in St. Augustine.  More than 60 Masons were present along with several visitors.

            Bro. John Hickman King received his 50-year award at the Stated Communication. Bro. King, a Master Mason in good standing in a Florida Lodge year with fifty (50) or more years Masonic Service was presented with an appropriate certificate, pin, and card in recognition of such fact during ceremony which included Masonic Grand Honors.  The presentation was made by M.W. Robert P. Harry, Jr., Past Grand Master of Masons of Florida and W. Oscar Patterson III, Worshipful Master of Ashlar Lodge No. 98 placed the 50-year pin on his collar. 

            W. Harry Waldron, Worshipful Master of Ashlar Lodge No. 98 in 1975 was recognized as the oldest living Past Master of the Lodge.  W. Waldron was presented with a Past Master’s apron and his photograph was placed in a special frame reserved for the oldest living Past Master.  It is most interesting that W. Waldron’s photo as Past Master hangs directly below the photo commemorating his year as Worshipful Master of the Lodge.  He was also presented with a framed copy of his Master’s photograph as a personal memento of his Year in the East forty-two (42) years ago.
​
