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)
