Son acts as Junior Deacon at Father's Initiation Ceremony

On 27 th November 2006 a rather unusual Initiation ceremony took place at Boltonian Lodge No 3716 which meets at Bolton Masonic Hall when Bro Lee Gridley saw his father Ron initiated into his own Lodge. Bro Lee himself had only been initiated into the Lodge on 28 th November 2005 and raised in September 2006 yet despite his short time in the craft he was invited to act as Junior Deacon at his father's initiation.

 

Bro Lee Gridley must have felt very proud and special taking his own father round the Lodge during the initiation ceremony It must have been a very emotional occasion for both of them and one which they will remember for the rest of their lives.
