Tonight was our annual meeting and Installation of new officers. Our York Rite College has many members who are actively involved in all branches of the York Rite and do parts for them on a regular basis as well. Our Grand Master, MWB Norm Mick is an officer. The Deputy Grand Illustrious Master, Lynn Alexander, is a past Governor and the Deputy Grand Commander, Tom Gault is also an active member. I moved up to the Seneschal position tonight representing the Grand Chapter. We also have as officers Past Grand Commander Richard Holcombe, Grand Standard Bearer Marty Trent and 3rd Arch Inspector Mike Smith. Our College since its' inception has had officers from all the York Rite Grand Bodies with some of our other Past Governors being Past Grand Master Mike Himes, Past Grand High Priest's Steve Duncan and Kermit Zimmerman, Past Grand Illustrious Master Bobbie Campbell and Beecher Vaughn and Past Grand Commander Burch Zehner. But while it may seem as being a Grand Officer is a requirement to be an officer, we have also had many PDDGMs, PDDGHPs, PDDCs serve as officer and our outgoing Governor was PDDGHP Hank Dodson and the current Governor is now PDDGHP/PDDC Robert Oldfather. As you can see our goal is to get workers from all the York Rite to make up our officer line.
