Visiting Brother

In August, we received a notification that an out-of-state Brother was in town visiting and would like to meet some brethren if available in the next couple of days. Turns out this brother DeAndre Simmons, an opera singer, was performing that weekend in Portland. He had just been raised a few weeks prior and there were over 100 masons present at his raising.

Big thank you to MWB Don Stapleton and WB’s Dave Munson, Jim Akers and John Quiroz who took DeAndre to lunch on such a quick notice. We all had a great time at McMenamins Edgefield and are looking forward to his next visit.
