Installation meeting 1991

Installation Meeting 1991

It is with the greatest sadness we report the loss of W. Bro. Cliff Silverwood, PPrJGD, who was called to the Grand Lodge Above on Saturday 31st December 2011.

W. Brother Cliff was a “one off” the mould was broken when he came along. A Customs & Excise Officer of serious standing, who conducted himself with a personal warmth and an often disregard to the serious side of life. He had a wonderful outlook on life in general, “it’s got to be a bit of fun”.

We will all remember his Installation Ceremony, when Appointing one of the Deacon’s, quipped, when handing over the wand of office, “you get one of these too”

In his latter years suffering from Alziemers Decease, I ‘phoned him to enquire of his health, he told me he wasn’t too bad but was having problems with ….. he couldn’t remember what he was suffering from. Alziemers I said, yes, that’s it!!

We extend our sympathy and support to Marie and trust the G. A. will watch over her in this dark hour.

W. Bro. Michael Long, PPrGReg, PDJGD (Dist. Barb. & East. Carib.)
Worshipful Master
Featherstone Lodge No. 7851

The Very Measure of a Man

January 31, 2011 Elsewhere

A Charge To The Fraternity by Benjamin Franklin
“The mason square doth clear the air of folly and deception
The rule is straight, the angle clear, for greatness has direction
By the compasses abide the points within so far and wide
No pleasure sway nor profit tempt these bounds of Mason pride
Greatness, what your virtues are good deeds practiced [...]
