At the beginning of Far East Lodge No. 1's Stated Meeting for April, the WM directed that the Charter be draped in memory of two Brethren who had passed away some time ago, but news of whom had not reached the Secretary until very recently. They were Bro. Deloyd McClune, who passed away on 21 Dec 2004, and Bro. Vernon Albert Diel, who passed away on 10 May 2005. For details see the Lodge's Obituary Page.
