At the June meeting of Ashley Lodge, in the presence of his family, John Biggs, a member of Royal Navy Lodge No. 429, Ramsgate, East Kent, was presented with a certificate of service and a 60-year lapel pin by the Provincial Grand Master for Dorset, Right Worshipful Brother Steven Andrew James.
A native of Ramsgate, John recently retired to Poole but spent most of his Masonic life in East Kent, having joined a local lodge at the age of 23 in 1965. Throughout the years, he served his Province with distinction, joining numerous Lodges and Orders, all whilst holding senior roles at IBM during his professional career.
When asked to help out by his mother lodge, Ashley Lodge, the Province of Dorset was more than delighted to host John and his family for the very special evening and to celebrate his remarkable 60 years.
Grateful thanks to Peter Boyd
