I won’t try to recap all the news from the summer I neglected, except I have to congratulate two deserving brethren on their appointments to grand rank. In July, R.W. Bro. Pierre F. de Ravel d’Esclapon was named Grand Historian, and R.W. Bro. Lee Justo is now our Deputy Grand Historian.
Among other things, Bro. Pierre is a Past Master and currently Historian of France La Clémente Amitié Cosmopolite Lodge 410 in the Tenth Manhattan District. Of course, he also is a Past Master (2009-10) of The American Lodge of Research, and he was elected a Fellow of The ALR on the strength of his inaugural paper as Master, “The History of French Lodges in New York City, 1760 to 1800.”
Bro. Lee is Master and Historian of Huguenot Lodge 46 in Mount Kisco; is Co-Chairman of Grand Lodge’s 250th Committee; is the face of Huguenot Lodge’s YouTube channel; and probably more that I don’t know about.
A solid team. I look forward to reading their research for many years to come.
Let me “shout ‘Bravo!’ at an annoyingly loud volume.”
