At Echuca Lodge on Saturday 9th September Wor Bro Lee

Pattinson, ** was Installed as WM of that Lodge by our Deputy

Grand Master, Rt Wor Bro Bob Jones, DGM assisted by Rt

Wor Bro John Stapleton JGW and his Grand Team.

Around 95 witnessed the Open Investiture part of the Ceremony

and a great night was had by all.

From reports received our Deputy Grand Master made a great

impression on those present and comes across as a Mans Man

Funny thing, in the photo shows the DGM and WM having a bit

of an arm wrestle over a bottle of Scotch!

Part of the message received by the Editor CLEARLY STATES

Claiming a bottle of Scotchhope you can use it!O.K Lee, when do I get it?

** (please note W.Bro. Lee which always appears to me as a

misnomer as he started out the evening as PGIW in the NSW

Constitution and during the course of proceedings his new Rank

in NSW to PJGW in that Constitution was announced . How-

ever, for some reason NSW ranks are frowned upon in Victoria

Freemasonry Universal????

Lee served a District Inspector of Workings for a very large

area of S/West NSW for several years and clocked up around

69,000 Km in the course of his duties, well done!)***

******************************

Swan Hill Lodge at its September meeting presented Rt Wor

Bro Jim Thompson, PSGW with a memento for having servedas Secretary for 12 years.

Jim has handed over the reins to Wor Bro Ernie Russell who

will be a very capable replacement. Congrats Jim..and Ernie.
