Coming to Boston in early youth, he engaged in the hardware business, to which, subsequently, he added that of dealer in agricultural implements, which calling he assiduously prosecuted, both in Boston and St. Louis, Mo. Returning from the latter city in 1841, to Boston, he immediately resumed his position among the active men of that day, in public and social life.

Franklin Norvish, lives in Needham and in a recent interview looks back on those days and the people with whom he worked. Bro. Norvish was born in Brockton. Massachusetts in 1911. After attending Brockton High School he went on to Colby College in Maine and then to Yale University where he obtained a graduate degree in English. He joined the faculty of Northeastern University in 1936 where he taught for 40 years. Bro. Norvish can speak several languages- French. German and Lithuanian which helped him in his Military Service. He joined [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=PaulRevere Paul Revere] Lodge in Brockton on April 5th. 1938, and is still active today. When asked why he chose to join the Lodge he replied: "My brother had joined a couple of years before and many of the people I knew and respected were Masons, so I wanted to join with them." He has said that one of the reasons that he chose English as a Major in college was a High School teacher that he had studied under and respected was Carl MacPherson, a well known Mason in the Brockton area.</ins></div></td></tr>

This he did and after being inducted at Fort Devens and sent to Edwards Air Force Base for basic training he was interviewed again by the CIC (Counterintelligence Corps). After Basic he was told to report to the agency where he was given vouchers for civilian clothing and told not to appear in uniform at any time.

His partner in the jeep with him, turned to him and said "For God's sake, don't stall it!!!" (He didn't.) Attached to the 7th Corps he followed the combat troops into Germany where his skills in German were put to good use. He was instrumental in interrogating German prisoners and found 1 several that were officers posing as enlisted men trvingl escape. Working in either plain clothes or an army uniform without rank or unit badges, he was shot at, and took some shrapnel in the foot. One of the experiences was a visit to Nordhausen, one of the concentration camps in Germany. There he saw first hand some of the prisoners and the shape that they were in. He was instrumental in capturing several German nuclear scientists and their notes and experiments who wereH being pursued by the Russians. In August, 1945.

Nowlan has served as chairman of the 1st and 13th Masonic Forum and was appointed District Awareness Officer in 2003. As the Forum Chairman, he restructured the finances of the Forum. At the end of his term, despite the many obstacles he faced, lodges were hosting his Forum rent-free, attendance improved due to better programming, and he turned over a small surplus of funds to the new Lodge of Instruction for seed money. As the D. A. O., he brings his camera to every visit to record important events for publicity in ''Trowel'', local newspapers and lodge archives. He has urged every lodge in his district to appoint a lodge photographer, and they have realized the value of this position.</ins></div></td></tr>

Some of his photographic shoots include the Gillette Company, Miss Teen America, Mrs. America, and Herb Reed & the Platters. One of the most intriguing shoots he took on was to photograph the original Prince Hall Masonic Charter. He says he was nervous on that shoot due to the strict lighting requirements and the historical significance of the document.</ins></div></td></tr>
