BIOGRAPHY
From TROWEL, Winter/Spring 2005, Page 5:
Our former Grand Marshal may just be able to log some sitting time this year. Rt. Wor. Donald R. Denning, Jr., a resident of Shirley, who stepped down from his role as the Grand Marshal for Most Wor. Donald Gardner Hicks, Jr. in December, is the Grand Lodge’s new Senior Grand Warden. Massachusetts Masonic tradition dictates that a retiring Grand Marshal immediately take the Grand Lodge seat in the West. Grand Lodge continued that tradition, rewarding Bro. Denning for his service to Massachusetts Masonry.
This marks Bro. Denning’s fifth year as a Grand Lodge officer. In addition to serving as Grand Marshal in 2002–2004, he served as a Grand Steward in 2001. As Grand Marshal, Bro. Denning logged innumerable miles, walking around various Lodge rooms in and outside of Massachusetts. He was also the ‘unofficial chauffeur’ for Grand Master Hicks. Now he’ll be able to sit a bit — but he will most likely still be logging miles as he travels around the state.
Rt. Wor. Donald Denning was born in Medford in 1964. He graduated from Arlington High School in 1982. Following high school, he attended Hofstra University on Long Island, where he studied electrical engineering. Today, he is employed by computer maker Hewlett-Packard, and he is an active member of the U.S. Army Reserves.
Bro. Denning was raised in Hiram Lodge in Arlington in 1993. He served as Master of that Lodge in 1998–2000 and is now the Grand Lodge Proxy and a trustee for the Lodge. He is also a member of Norfolk and Major General Henry Knox Lodges.
In addition to his work in blue lodges, Bro. Denning is also a member of Thomas Royal Arch Chapter in Fitchburg, Harris Council of Royal and Select Master Masons in Gardner, Jerusalem Commandery No. 19 in Fitchburg, and St. Bernard Commandery No. 12 in Boston. He is also a member of the Scottish Rite Valleys of Boston and Southeastern Massachusetts. In addition, the Senior Grand Warden is a member of Massachusetts College, SRICF; King Philip York Rite College No. 160; Aleppo Temple, AAONMS; the Arlington Masonic Building Association; the Massachusetts Police Square Club; the Sixth District Past Masters’ Association; and Paul Revere Council, Allied Masonic Degrees.
