2010 Potentate

I was born and raised on a farm in Missouri with 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I am 68 years old and been involved with farming and general contracting all my life. I have been married to Lady Mary Ann 45 years, who is 39 and holding. To this union three children were born, two daughters and a son. We now have four grand children and two step great grand kids.

I moved to Montana in 1981 and joined the Masons in 1986. I became a member of Order of Eastern Star, Shrine, and Scottish Rites of Free Masonry in 2002. I joined the Shrine in Bozeman and the first unit I joined was the Black Horse Patrol. I am also a member of the Hospital Corp, Provost Guard, Big Horn Shrine Club and Livingston Shrine Club. I have served as Worthy Patron in Order of Eastern Star and Venerable Master of Scottish Rites in 2009.

Being retired, I plan on dedicating 2010 to the Al Bedoo Shrine and will be a regular at the Temple most days unless I’m traveling to a Shrine Unit, Club, or a Shrine function. If there is anything I can do for your Unit or Club, please contact me at 406-698-6479. I will be happy to help you in any way I can so things run smoothly and tasks are completed.
