I'm sorry I did not get to talk to you prior to or after the ceremony but from the bottom of heart thank you for your support.

At his installation, Most Worshipful Brother Charles laid out a blueprint that brought to life the Pillars of Progress as defined in the Long Range Plan. He believed that the Long Range Plan and the initiatives contained therein were more than just words on a page, but a call to action – that we must Walk the Talk.

He focused on the growth of Fraternal relationships with the many Masonic bodies in the Jurisdiction by dedicating the months of his year to each of these bodies. In addition, he focused on the needs of the Brethren by traveling throughout the Jurisdiction to the many Lodges, scheduled and unscheduled, to reinforce his message of fraternity and fellowship. His District Meetings were taken to a higher level by introducing the concept of family involvement.

Brother Jim was a 20 year old Corporal in the US Army (back then) who served as a Forward Observer with the 14th Field Artillery Observation Battalion in Luxembourg. During the battle, his position was overrun by German soldiers and he was forced to hide in a hollowed-out fallen tree for several days.

The brethren of Ashler Lodge #121 and Mill Creek Lodge No. 243 F&AM of Washington presented Jim with an authentic Silvertips jersey which was signed by all members of the team.

We humbly express our sincere gratitude to the Silvertips organization, the players and to the 7,388 fans in attendance who made Jim's first hockey game experience a memorable one.
