I check this section of the forums every time I come here and I have to say I breath a sigh of relief when there are no new posts. I hope the GAOTU keeps up the good work and keeps us all away from needing to post here.
On Friday evening, we said farewell to a pillar of our Masonic Community. He was a Veteran of the Navy, and the Army. College Professor, father, grandfather, great-grandfather. Friend, mentor, educator. As Commander of Hospitaller Commandery No. 46 stationed at Lock Haven, Pa. it saddens me to report the passing of Sir Knight Ernest E. Lundy. Gene was a pillar in the Masonic Community and well respected by those who made his acquaintance. Gene's Masonic record reflects his dedication to Freemasonry and is as follows: ERNEST EUGENE LUNDY Blue Lodge: Entered: May 16, 1972, Passed: October 12, 1972, Raised: November 13, 1972, Master: 1977, Secretary: 1989-1990 Assistance Principal Instructor 18th.
