Benjamin Franklin Lodge #83, Madison, WI

There are three current Wisconsin Worshipful Masters who are members of BFL#83, and a Worshipful Master who is the Special Friend of BFL#83. These four were all in attendance at a recent Stated Communication. Besides BFL#83 WM Paul Gordon, Brother Scott Statz is also the WM of Commonwealth# 325 and Brother Pat Storrs is also WM of Silas Sheppard Lodge of Research. Additionally, Brother Joseph Pronnet, WM of Aurora Lodge #30, is the Special Friend of BFL#83 in recognition of his exemplary help in the development of BFL#83 as a Lodge and its members as Masons. Besides the WMs present, there were also three Past Masters at the meeting who are BFL#83 members: Brother Erick Nielsen is PM of Commonwealth Lodge #325; Brother Winter Guite is PM of Milton Lodge #161, and; Brother Phil Ferris is PM of Middleton-Ionic Lodge #180. BFL#83 is fortunate to have consistent attendance of these experienced Masons to help the Lodge function and its Members progress in Freemasonry. Other WMs and PMs in BFL#83 live out of state but continue to contribute to Lodge activities. The four current WMs at the recent Lodge meeting paused for a photo near BFL#83’s Charter from the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin. (L to R: WM Paul Gordon, WM Pat Storrs, WM Josef Pronnet, WM Scott Statz)
