On February 19, at the stated monthly meeting of North Star Lodge No. 241, Jack T. Collins was presented with his fifty year service emblem by Derrick P. Cross, District Deputy Grand Master. The lodge was glad to have Steve Ansell, Collins’ first line signer of his petition, in attendance to pin on his emblem. Collins was initiated into the fraternity in 1976. Following the meeting, a program about national leaders who had been Freemasons was presented by Brandon J. Chase, Worshipful Master.
