BIOGRAPHY
From TROWEL, Spring 1996, Page 4:
The Junior Grand Warden is a quiet fellow who admits that he is not a golfer but plays at the game for the enjoyment golf was meant to be. While he won't be around slapping your back or boasting about his own accomplishments, Bob has a demeanor that wears well when you get to know him. He first sought fraternal fellowship as a member of Boston Chapter, Order of DeMolay, and it inspired him to become an active Master Mason.
Raised in Somerville Lodge in 1974, he was Worshipful Master 1977-78, and is now the Treasurer and Proxy. He has been a Director of the Somerville Temple Association for several years and serves as Treasurer.
