Tonight St. Mary's temple (Mercer Lodge and St. Mary's Chapter) honored 6 members who have made significant accomplishments in Masonry. They had a nice program and unveiled six new portraits to hang in their temple with one of those being Steve Oliver. Steve as you might remember unfortunately passed away as Grand King (though at Grand Chapter he was made an Honorary Past Grand High Priest). St. Mary's is a unique little town which I have been to many times as I've known several from here who have presided. Past Grand High Priests MEC Steve Duncan and MEC Bill Purdy were present along with Grand Captain of the Host Bob Blankenhorn. Dennis Hughes from Grand Commandery was present to represent them as well as Neil Smalley representing Grand Lodge/Scottish Rite and Doug Habagger representing Grand Council. The six honored were MEC Steve Oliver, REC William Garrett, REC Jack Hollman, REC Johnnie Dickey, EC Keith Manbeck (33rd and Past Presiding Officer Scottish Rite) and RWB Gary Thomas (PDDGM).
