A few religious oriented memberships . . .
Presently I'm most active in our Knights of Columbus Council, and our Fourth Degree Assembly. I'm Treasurer and Webmaster of our Council, and Membership Chairman this year
(2008). I also attend 4th Degree meetings and functions, and am the District Warden for the Pennsylvania 27th District. I conducted VIRTUS "Protecting God's Children" sessions at our Parish for several years, and recently (2008) was hired by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia
as a Compliance Auditor for our Safe Environment Program. Diane and I keep pretty busy taking our granddaughters to participate in many
church and school functions, like altar service, math club, scouting, CYO sports, etc.

I
was a member of F&AM for more than 20 years, but resigned 21 April 1999. I was a member of Hiram Lodge #616 in Altoona,
PA, and often attended the Quarterly Meetings in Corinthian Hall at the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I was Entered 18 November
1977, Crafted 16 December 1977, and Raised 27 January 1978. Thanks to Leonard Hite, George Russell and Ron Stacy for
their mentoring and assistance. I still try to catch a Sunday Brunch at our local Masonic Temple occasionally though,
i.e. Charity Lodge #190. And I love to take visitors through the Masonic Temple building at one North Broad Street in Philly.
If you haven't been there, it is beautiful, and really worth seeing. It's open to public tours - in the meantime, you
can take a quick tour of the lodge rooms online here.

A few fraternal club memberships . . .
Presently I live a block away from my current American
Legion Post 901 Jeffersonville. They don't have a home association, and meet in the Jefferson Fire House. The Jeff Fire Co. folks know us pretty well . . . sometimes when Diane
cooks, they stop up for the fire alarm she sets off. Occasionally I pop in at the VFW Valley Forge Post 7878 in King of Prussia. I usually pop in at the Lock Haven Elks too when I'm in town, but usually not more than once a year, and very few people there know me any longer - I moved
out of Lock Haven in 1973. So the club I visit occasionally now is the Maenner Chor in Norristown.
