Masonic Trivia
On November 10, 1928, the Grand Lodge of California held a
special communication at Culver City, to lay the corner stone
of the Masonic temple. The lodge room was so crowded that
the grand Lodge Officers were unable to enter. They retired
to the Ladies’ powder room to open the Grand Lodge
ceremony.
The Craft’s Noyse:
Composers who were Freemasons:
Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong 1901-1971
Although he was better known as a remarkable performer on
the trumpet and cornet. Armstrong was the composer of
many of the classics of early jazz. He was also very gifted at
improvisation and made a major mark in the history of
American music.

Quote of the Month
“I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the
strength to help him in some other way”
"To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks
must be taken because the greatest risk of all
is to risk nothing"

Once again York Lodge has raised a new Master Mason
at Oxbow camp, our unofficial northern annex. Many
thanks to RW Randy Burliegh for hosting this great event.
Please Brothers attend to this.
Ads and Remembrance’s are also expiring
and need to be renewed.
I know the picture is small but if you look closely you will
see at least two Past Grand Masters and the current
Grand Master of Masons in Maine, Most Worshipful
James Ross.
Remember these appear in the Trestleboard,
Newsletter and on our Web site which is a great
deal of exposure for a $100 donation.
For more information contact Bro. Chuck Morin.
Not to forget the subject of the gathering of this august
group, Brother Owen Brown our newest Master Mason
The Master’s Corner
Greeting from the East.
I am writing this on the 16th of August and thinking of our
brothers. My heart and I imagine yours too, goes out to our
Brother Mike Remillard for his lost. I have had little
experience with Mike outside of the lodge hall but I admire
the grace he and his family have shown during this most
difficult time. The brothers who reach out to Mike are also in
my thoughts. I am proud of you all.
We will be coming out of darkness on the second Monday of
September and I am asking you to look at the calendar
Randy has posted in this Trestleboard to confirm the date of
our Stated Meeting, September 10th and to also think about
the other events we have scheduled for the rest of the year.
We have Past Masters Night, also in September, which will
cause us to reunite with some of the brothers we haven’t
seen in a while and which will bring a warmth to our lodge, as
well as to the lodge hall, that these special nights generate.
It is always special to reconnect and reminisce about things
we have done together and about those who are not there to
share in the conversation. I hope you will come and share
your presence with us. Supper will be at 6:00 and the gavel
will sound at 7:00 for the work of the evening.
In October we will present the Masonic Service Awards at the
Stated Meeting. We are also inviting all of the families with
multiple generations or brothers of the same generation to
attend so we can capture them in a picture after introducing
them. As an example, Freeman (Zip) Welch has made plans
for his sons to all be in town so they can attend. I am
planning to ask my brother who belongs to Arundel Lodge to
attend with me. I am asking you to also gather your family so
you can attend too. Another opportunity to create more future
th
memories, November 11 is Veteran’s Day and falls on a
Sunday this year. I have invited the Grand Master to join a
procession of York Lodge members as we march to the
grave of our brother, Harold A. Webber, who died serving our
country. The lodge bought a service star when he entered
the Army for the First World War, together with three others
for other brothers who were also entering the service, and
are on displayed in our lodge hall. I am asking all of our
brothers who are veterans to join us. I am going to reach out
to the American Legion Post in Kennebunk to see they want
to participate also. They named their Post, Webber-Lefebvre
Post 74, after Bro. Webber and another resident of
Kennebunk. Let us never forget and always honor the
sacrifice made for us.
So, my brothers, let’s get together and share our time with
each other. We don’t have much of this Masonic year left.
Take care
,
W. Brian Ingalls
