Bro. and Dr. Charles William LeVan was proud to serve as the guide for all three degrees in Chandler Lodge No. 227, Reading, when William Charles LeVan was the fourth generation of the family to become a Mason. The Master Mason's Degree was conferred by John J. Tumolo, III, S.W., himself a third generation Mason.
Fifty-two years ago, 21-year-old William H. Shafer, P.M. (third from left), Apollo Lodge No. 437, decided to wait two years before petitioning the lodge so that he and his brother, James C. (second from left), could travel the same road together. They were entered in June 1949, passed in Sept. and raised in Oct. Fifty years later at a banquet attended by 90 persons, the brothers were honored to receive their 50-Year Emblems of Gold from Harvey F. Fishel, D.D.G.M. (left), 39th Masonic District, and Randy W. Miller, W.M.. Now that John J. Tumolo, III, has been installed as Worshipful Master of Chandler Lodge No. 227, Reading, he is the third of his family to preside over a Masonic lodge using a gavel that has been passed from one generation to the next. The new Worshipful Master was installed by his father, John J., Jr., who was Master of Golden Rule Lodge No. 748, Philadelphia, in 1965 and 1966 and is a dual member of Chandler Lodge. The gavel was first used by John, III's grandfather, John, Sr. when he was Worshipful Master of Golden Rule Lodge, Philadelphia, in 1932. Golden Rule Lodge merged with Independence Lodge No. 723 in 1974, which then merged into Harmony Lodge No. 52 in 1987.
