John Holt Receives Knight's Templar Cross of Honor and Other Awards:

As most of us know, it has been a year of ups and downs for Worshipful Brother John Holt. While he's endured a two month rehabilitation after a massive blood clot was found in his left hip, he was also given the Knight's Templar Cross of Honor. He has recently been appointed the State Chairman for the Knight's Templar Eye Foundation. Palestine Lodge No. 486 honored John last week with a dinner in his honor and and award for Mason of the Year in their Lodge.

John will be getting rides to Lodge for the next few months until his leg is rehabilitated. He can move around, only to an extent, and has to use a walker to do so. But as all of us know, even though he can barely walk, he stands tall on principles.
