I am honored to have been selected to represent the Grand Lodge in the Southeast District as District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler. Having served as Exalted Ruler of Cape Henlopen Lodge #2540 for two terms, as well as numerous committee assignments, I believe that I have a reasonably good handle on the issues confronting our Lodges today. I continue to serve my Lodge in various capacities, including Lodge Treasurer.

During my term as District Deputy I hope to be an active participant in the wide variety of activities that our District�s Lodges conduct as they strive to serve their communities and carry out the programs of the Grand Lodge. I firmly believe that if we all work to put aside our individual differences, we can overcome the issues that arise from time to time and threaten to impede our progress. Working within Elkdom is a labor of love that should reflect our commitment to our obligation.

Working with me this year will my wife, Eileen, who will be my Esquire and Donald G. Ebner of Cape Henlopen Lodge #2540, a gentleman extremely experienced and knowledgeable in financial matters who will serve as my Auditor.

I hope you will join me in making this a year to remember!
