​Flip over to page 18 (near the bottom) to read about the team’s exemplary degree work on the road.
Huge thank you to the Brothers who traveled and represented us so well!!!

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Brother Jeremy Herschaft, who laid down his working tools yesterday at the age of 49.
​Brother Herschaft came to us in 2002 as an Eagle Scout—articulate, athletic, and full of promise. Though we hoped to see him in our officer lineup, the Grand Architect of the Universe led him to Manhattan and Houston as a successful, humble Maritime Attorney. An avid marathoner and devoted family man, he balanced a thriving life with unwavering loyalty to our Craft. When diagnosed with brain cancer, he fought with immense fortitude at MD Anderson, even running again to raise money for cancer research.
​Our deepest sympathies are with his wife and three young children.
​Masonic Record:
​Initiated: March 30, 2002 (Charleston, SC)
​Passed: June 5, 2002
​Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason: September 4, 2002
Germania Lodge No. 46 will observe a period of mourning for the next two stated communications.
​Alas, my Brother.
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”

🇺🇸 Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸
A quarter-millennium ago, a grand architecture of liberty was drawn upon the trestle board of history. Today, we celebrate the master builders of this nation—the seekers of light, virtue, and freedom who laid the indispensable cornerstone of our republic.
From the square to the compass, our journey has been guided by a divine geometry of equality and brotherhood. As we look to the East for a new dawn, let us continue to build our character, stone by stone, shaping a more perfect union.
May we always stand on the level, act by the plumb, and remain united in liberty.
