RW Bro. Clatterbuck shows his 60-year Service Award with W Bro. Dan Dolan (center) and MW Bro. Richard Bautista standing by his side.
Last week, with a special dispensation granted by the Grand Master, Richard J. Bautista and the Grand Master of Virginia, the officers and members of Potomac Lodge No. 5, opened their Lodge in an extraordinary place (a room in Sentara RMH in Harrisonburg, VA) to honor an extraordinary man, RW Bro. Dean Clatterbuck.
RW Bro. Clatterbuck is currently recovering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and unable to attend regular Lodge meetings at Potomac No. 5, where he is a Past Master, Past Secretary, and the Lodge's Fidelity Medal holder. But June is a special month for Bro. Dean – it is his 60-year anniversary of membership in Potomac. So, MW Bro. Bautista and the officers of Potomac planned a special presentation to RW Bro. Clatterbuck.
They gathered in his hospital room, where under dispensation and the presence of the Grand Master, W Bro. Daniel Dolan, Master of Potomac Lodge No. 5 opened the Lodge in Due Form and resumed the Labor of that Lodge at an Special Communication to present RW Bro. Clatterbuck his 60-year award.
Needless to say, it was quite a sight for the hospital staff, his wife Sandy, and the Masons involved to see how happy and proud Bro. Clatterbuck was in receiving his award. It was clear to all how much the assembled Brethren loved and respected each other.
