Jim Pearson 50 years a Mark Man |
On Monday afternoon the 12th June 2023, I along with R. W. Bro. Tony Harrison, P.G.J.W., P.Prov.Dep.G.M. & Alan Gregory P.Prov. G.J.W. spent a very pleasant afternoon visiting Jim Pearson, P.G.J.D. |
We were there to celebrate Jims 50 years as a Mark Man and as a member of Morecambe Mark No.716. |
Whilst Jim can no longer attend any masonic meetings, he still has an active mind, and although his sight is not too good either, he did recognise us on introduction. |
