On Saturday, April 19th, we had a wonderful day at St. Johns Lodge #20 with the raising of Brother Bryce Tekulve to the sublime degree of a Master Mason.
Bryce is a Past Master Councilor of Yorkrite DeMolay (Columbus, IN) and a Past State Master Councilor of Indiana DeMolay.
Bryce's dad, Bobby Tekulve, conferred the degree and is also a Past State Master Councilor. His grandfather was also in attendance, as well as Most Worshipful Brother David G Morgan, Grand Master of Masons in Indiana and Past Grand Master Carl Culmann. Numerous other distinguished Brothers & Senior DeMolay's attended.
It was a great day for St. Johns Lodge & Indiana Freemasonry.
