Even though it goes without saying that Mason Wolf is an exemplar of Odd Fellowship, sometimes it is important to embarrass him just a little bit by pointing out that his home Lodge community at True Fellowship Lodge no. 52 is very proud of his accomplishments. At Grand Lodge Sessions, he not only completed his term as District Deputy Grand Master of District 107 and awarded the Past-DDGM pin from our own Sister Debbie Shuler’s personal pin stash, he was also recognized in front of the combined Grand Lodge Sessions for his extraordinary contributions to California Odd Fellowship in the last year with the Grand Master’s Award, with special focus on all he has done for setting up the Richard Brouse Degree Lodge no.190.
Additionally, Sister Debbie Shuler was herself bringing pride to True Fellowship, as she not only became the first woman Past Grand Patriarch in California history, she also received an Encampment Meritorious Service Jewel – “for meritorious service performed on behalf of Odd Fellowship beyond the usual and customary duties of membership” – service which included orchestrating the first known conferral of an Encampment Degree at the Pythian Cave in Yreka, California. Additionally, she completed the longest single term of any Grand Patriarch in California history, because California’s Encampment extended her term so as to sync California’s Encampment Sessions to be in the same week and location as California Grand Lodge Sessions.
