On September 15th, two advisors were invested with the rank, dignity and honor of Legionnaire of the Order of DeMolay:
Dad Frank Lesco is a Past Master Councilor of New Haven Chapter, Past Chapter Advisor of several Connecticut DeMolay Chapters and Past State Chapter Dad, also a holder of the Guild of the Leather Apron (Advisor of the Year). Dad Lesco can be spotted at numerous DeMolay events supporting the members and always open for a good chat. The Preceptors that were selected to take part in the ceremony each represented the various Chapters that Dad Lesco had served as an Advisor in one capacity or another (New Haven, Robert H. Heller, Marcus Holcomb, Sleeping Giant, Edward W. Slade, Milford and the CT State Chapter).
Dad Charles Warfield is a Senior DeMolay from New Haven Chapter, a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and supports DeMolay, Connecticut DeMolay in particular throughout his various Masonic activities.
Executive Officer Harry E. Needham III presided as Commander in the East for the investiture. It was an impressive afternoon with 5 Past Grand Masters of Masons in Connecticut, 8 Past State Master Councilors and 2 Past Executive Officers present to either take part or witness this event.
Both of these advisors embody what it means to be dedicated to DeMolay. Truly, we should all endeavor to take the same approach to DeMolay as they do!
