It is with mixed emotions that I write this last Trestle Board article. For those Brothers that have sat in the
East, you know the bittersweet feeling of ending your year as Master. As I reflect on this past year I am amazed at
how fast it has gone by and I cant help but first think of all the things I wanted to accomplish that we were not able
to do and the Brothers that weve lost. Perhaps its just human nature to focus on those people that you miss and the
things that you fail to get done, but I also choose to remember with fond memories the Brotherhood that was developed this year. I feel we raised some extraordinary Brothers this year and Im excited to see what the future holds
for them.
I would like to thank the Brothers for all their support this year. It has truly meant so much to me. Your year
as Master can be stressful, Ive got the hospital bill to prove that, but it can also be rewarding and I am proud to
have been elected to serve as Leesburgs Master in 2015. I tried to do things the right way. I tried to do what was
best for the Brothers and this Lodge, none of which would have been accomplished without the support of our
Brothers. I know Ive thanked them before, but I want to thank all the Past Masters that have offered their advice
and support. I took it to heart, I hope I lived up to your expectations and I hope we did some good for our Lodge. I
would like to thank the Line Officers for the support that they gave me this year. I relied on you heavily throughout
the year and for those that were there to lend a hand I cant thank you enough. I need to take a moment here to
thank three Brothers in particular. Our treasurer W:. Larry Duff, our secretary W:. Hank DeBerry, and our Junior
Past Master W:. John Haas. I have leaned on you three more than any others in 2015 and I could not have done it
without you. Thank you for all the hard work that you put in this year and thank you for always answering the calls
and being there for me.
You get out of Masonry what you put into it. Thats how the line goes. And its true. Its been a lot of hard
work and a lot of long hours the last few years but I wouldnt trade any of it. Masonry has given me so much in my
life. Ive met some great men and come to know the beautiful women supporting them. People that I am proud to
call friends and that I consider family. The ladies of the officers have put in some long hours as well this year. I
can never thank you enough. I also need to take a moment to thank a very special person, my lady Cindy, without
whom I would not have been able to get through this year. Thank You!
In leaving, I just want to encourage all the Brothers to show up to Lodge. Youve got some Brothers in
those chairs that love Masonry and truly care about Leesburg Lodge and theyve got some great ideas for future
events. Between our elected officers and the passion and fire I see in our new Brothers I am excited to see what the
future holds for our Lodge. All they need is the support from you and I.
Thank you Brothers and May God Bless You All,
Chaplains Corner
Brothers we were saddened at the loss of Brother Berlin Ruleman, a member of the Leesburg OES
family. He was living in South Carolina at the time and his nephew arranged for his remains to be
brought down for a Masonic Memorial in his home Lodge of Groveland. He was a Past Master of
Wildwood Lodge and a past member of Leesburg. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. As
we come into the Christmas season let us all remember the reason we celebrate that special day. May all the
Brothers of the world unite into one body and celebrate the birth of our Savior. Joy to the World the Lord has
come, Let Earth receive his Peace! Yes they are the words of a song but also words to live by and follow.
Happy holidays to all our Brothers!

The end of the year is near, and December is full of excitement. The breakfast was canceled due to the outdoor
degree on December 5th. The Sunday dinner on the 13th
will be ham, turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes with
gravy, salad and deserts. The second Stated Communication, with dinner beforehand at 6:00 PM, will have, leftovers.
I hope everyones Thanksgiving was enjoyable, with
your turkey and all the fixings, and spending time with
family and close friends. I know that my Thanksgiving
was enjoyable and, as always, I ate too much.
I hope that your Christmas is just as enjoyable, with lots
of gifts, good company, and good food.
