From the Editor
Wiil Rogers always said tha( he would
like to receive his roses while alive
because, when he is dead, they wotťt do
him any good. This editorial will bc an
attempt to give a certain man a little bit
ofthe roses hejustly deserves while he is
still alive; this is not a čase of beating a
drum for somebody, it is a čase of a
person (in this čase your editor) who
appreciates somebody's years of Service
to a Society to which both of us belong.
it was sometimes in June and July of
1947 when the then President of Lodge
No. 88, Houston, Brother Frank Olexa,
.Ir., said he had served as president for
the lodge for seven years having skipped
one year when Brother Vine Kilnar was
president and served for that time. There
was a search made for somebody who
would be interested. I will not go into
detail, however, the search ended up on
yours truly because he was the only one
who could handle the English and Czéch
languages fluently; at that time and the
meetings were conducted in the Czech
ianguage. A slate of oťfícers was elected;
but before the election, this editor went
to a young man and asked him to serve as
guide for Lodge 88. The lodge had not
had a guide for a number of years. Yours
truly approached Brother Jerome Ermis;
he said: “Look, I am just new in this
work, and 1 don’t know a thing about
what the guide is supposed to do.” I told
him that 1 am newat being president also
and to come on and give it a try. He did;
that was 32 years ago this year. He was
elected guide six times. After 1 declined
presidency six years later, he was elected
treasurer of the lodge and served in that
capacity until he was elected the
president of Lodge 88. He has been an
offícer in some position at Lodge 88 for
the 32 years - a man who has steadťastly
stood behlnd ťraternalism, stood up for
it, and never declined to he helpful
wherever he could be; so to him, his
lovely wiťe, Willie Mae and their Fine
son, Gary, in respect to a longtime
ťriendship, this portion of this editorial is
dedicated and to all oťyou good luck in
the ťuture years!
