Special Event - 50 Years a Mason

And a Member of Quinte St. Alban's Lodge No. 620 G.R.C.


On November 26th our Worshipful Master and Secretary visited Bro. Manuel Haralambus at his home in Mississauga in order to present to him the pin and card issued by Grand Lodge to brethren who reach the milestone of 50 years in the Craft.

50 Years a Mason

They found him in his condo apartment, looking forward eagerly to the visit. With him, and also eagerly looking forward, were his five daughters, along with one son-in-law. His son was at work, and so unable to be present.

He now needs either a cane or a walker to get about, and does not go out much. His wife passed away more than 25 years ago.
