David Counts Tribute

 

David Counts will be honored by Orient Masonic Lodge #905 in a special tribute on Saturday June 22 in Knox City TX. The event will begin at 6 pm and will be held in the newly completed Community Center. Earlier in the day, the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas will officially lay the corner stone of the community center. The tribute will follow the pattern of the 1980’s Dean Martin Man of the Hour celebrity roasts, but organizers have promised Counts that they will make every effort to find speakers who will also say nice things about the honoree.

 

Counts maintains a real estate business in Knox City and for many years also operated Counts Insurance Agency there. He also served in the Texas Legislature and is a retired General in the Texas Guard. He is a past master of Orient Masonic Lodge #905 and is currently serving as Master of Tranquility Lodge 2000. He served the Grand Lodge of Texas as Grand Master in 2009. A 33° Scottish Rite Mason, he is also a member of Chapter, Council and Commandery and numerous other Masonic bodies.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit Orient Lodge and it’s charities. If you are unable to attend but would like to support the event, your donations may be mailed to the address below. Checks should be made payable to Orient Lodge #905.

Brother Norm Ess

Brother Norman “Norm” Ess has been moved from BAMC to the Regents Center (Oakwell Farms), Room 210, 8501 Laurens Lane, San Antonio. His cancer is out of control and he is now in Hospice Care.  He will probably never be back in lodge again and he really wants to come back at least one more time.  He is weak and tires easily, but he appreciates every visitor.  So, if your able and take the time…Please go see Norm and stay for 30 minutes or less if you can.  His son, Terry, is in town and will be here for a week or so. Then he’ll return to SC and come back once he clears up a few things.   Again, please go see Norm if you can.   Fraternally Yours,   Dennis Lafferty District Deputy Grand Master, Masonic District 39-B Secretary, Charles W.
