3rd Degree Certificate of Proficiency Awarded

On September 13, 2014 during the monthly stated meeting, Brother Rodney James Koger was found to be proficient in the Third Degree Lecture by the Brethren assembled at Jamestown Lodge No. 281.  Brother Koger gave a VERY precise lecture and was awarded a Certificate of Proficiency of the 3rd Degree from the Grand Lodge of Tennessee.  He should be an inspiration to all Masons.

Official Visit

On July 22, 2014 Jamestown Lodge No. 281 F. & A.M. of Tennessee had its Official Visit. The Brethren, to include visiting Brethren from Byrdstown Lodge No. 496, Little Crab Lodge No. 614, and Clarkrange Lodge No. 605 enjoyed a great meal before the event.  District 13 Grand Lecturer (and Past Master) Tommy Clark presided over the visit and provided the Brethren with good and wholesome instruction as well as completing the duties as Grand Lecturer during an official visit.

There were several Brethren who were up for Lecturer Card renewals as well as a few for Proficiency Card renewals.  All of those Brethren were found proficient in their respective duties.  One Brother in particular showed that you are never too old to keep sharp on Masonic Ritual; Brother James Virgil (JV) Peavyhouse, a 50 year member, lead the Masonic Ritual during some of the event and was an inspiration to all Brethren present.

The night also held a special meaning for one Brother.  Worshipful Master Jerry Dale Asberry had been working toward the Pin of Excellence this past year with Brother Robert Lancaster.  Brother Robert found Brother Asberry to be most proficient in the ritual work and was going to present Brother Asberry with his Pin of Excellence during the Official Visit.  As many Brethren know, Brother Robert passed away only a week before the Official Visit.  During Brother Robert's illness he had informed Brother Tommy Clark that he [Robert] wanted Brother Tommy to assume the duties as District 13 Grand Lecturer due to his condition.  Brother Robert also had informed Tommy that Brother Asberry had been found most deserving of the Pin of Excellence and to present the pin to Brother Asberry.   Brother Tommy carried out Robert's wishes and presented Brother Asberry with a Pin of Excellence for Brother Robert. 

Brother G. Daniel Mata P.M. also presented Brother Asberry with a personal gift in recognition of his diligence, exemplary performance, and dedication to the craft.

Worshipful Master Jerry Dale Asberry closed the Official Visit with an moment of silence in honor of Brother Robert Lancaster.
