Wicomico Lodge Raises Four New Master Masons

On Saturday December 12, 2009 under a special dispensaton from the Grand Lodge of Maryland, Wicomico Lodge No. 91 raised four brothers to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason.

Shown above left to right are Weston Raphael Park, David Franklin Long, Worshipful Master Craig L. Scott, John Matthew Mendygral, and Kyle David Heberle

What was most remarkable was that this degree work was conferred by a veritable who's who of Freemasonry on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Most participants were past masters and/or Grand Lodge officers. Lodge 91 was overwhelmed by the support we were offered. It was truly heartwarming that our lodge was able to work with so many good friends and brothers and to know that they had voluntarily offered their services to help us. This was Freemasonry in action. Lodge 91 would like to congratulate each of the brothers listed below who helped us in this endeavor. All did exemplary ritual work.

W.M. Craig Lee Scott (Worshipful Master Wicomico Lodge No. 91)
S.W. Gerry Hovatter (Temple Lodge No. 170)
J.W. Wes Townsend (Evergreen Lodge No.153)
