We want to pay a special tribute to the original committee, which consisted of R.W. Floyd Hamilton, Herman Smith, Philip R. Straker, and David D Tiburzi, who prepared the history from 1951 to 1977, and the second committee consisting of Philip Straker, and Kenneth Nance who updated the history through 1988.  The final document is over 30 typewritten pages long, and represents hours and hours of hard work.  It is the recollection of the Brethren who were there at the time, and many of them have now passed on, or at an advanced age where this information would be by now lost.  Because of their foresight, we all can enjoy the History of the Lodge.

The document was scanned into Microsoft Word, and corrected only for some obvious spelling errors, which are bound to occur in such a long document.  The wording was left as originally published to maintain the "flavor" of this document.

If you wish a hard copy of the entire history, it available for download in either Word or Acrobat Format in the document section of this website .  I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have.
