A faithful attendant at its communications and an earnest worker in everything for the benefit of the Lodge. As years rolled on and he became somewhat infirm his attendance at our communications was not so regular, but I have often heard him make the statement that there never was a Wednesday evening that passed but what he thought of Good Old Joppa, as he was wont to call her." Such was the deserved and fitting tribute by a Master of the Lodge. Grand Lodge Officers Bradley Parker DDGM James Huggins DDGM Joseph J. Couch Grand Master
