Last
night a new Cornerstone was announces and presented. This year it was
bestowed, very deservedly in my opinion, to WB George G. Quallen of our
Lodge.here is the bio they read about George Last night:
WB
George has been around the Masonic fraternity his entire life. That he
is sure of, he is a fifth generation Master Mason. His father was a 50+
year member and Past Master of Marathon Lodge, his mothers father was a
Mason, her Step Father was a 50+ year member of Marathon Lodge and the
Secretary for about 35 years after that. George is following this
example and is a twice Past Master Of Marathon and is currently the
Senior Warden. George has been in nearly all of the offices in the Lodge
including Secretary. George is the Worthy Patron of Linden Chapter 338
OES and has been several times. George is a natural ritualist and
leader. He is well known for his Lectures and Charges, and is just as
thorough behind the scenes as in front of the Brethren. George through
his example and leadership turned Marathon around by encouraging the
Brothers to reach out to the District and other Lodges and become more a
part of them rather than an observer.In short WB George is, and has
been a major supporter of Freemasonry both locally, and regionally.
Next
time you see him, you might want to congratulate him as we did last
night. George has been instrumental in the rebirth of this Lodge. The
entire district is asking, What's going on at Marathon? They're on fire!
Congratulations George and all of the Brothers who are working hard, you all made this possible.
I suspect there will be an update on the district website in the next week or so.
Jack Stevens
Secretary
