Bob Jones of 30 Meyers St., and his wife, Grace, must have felt something like that when they were guests of honor for an award spon- sored by Eureka Masonic Lodge recently. Active in various levels of the Masonic movement for many years, including Royal Arch Masons, Friendship Chapter and the Shrine Club, Bob has been a member of Eureka Lodge for 41 years. But that is not all, nor the only reason he was singled out for a cita- tion. Close to 100 friends, family and fellow Masons attended the evening last week when Jones was honored for his spirit of citizenship and com- munity work. He had been active in many aspects of the community before he retired in 1980 after a career on the CN Railway. His service to his Masonic Lodge was impressive alone. Then there were regular visits to the hospital to comfort patients, active service by both he and his wife in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and more. Speakers for the evening included Mayor George Zegouras, lodge of- ficials, and his son, the Rev. Robert Jones, now of Picton. "We don't give this award on any regular basis," explained Eureka Lodge Master Bob Cooper. "It is up to the executive if someone deserves it." The citation reads in part: "In recognition of exemplary ac- complishment in all aspects of life, work, community involvement, church and Masonry." In many ways, Cooper added, the citation sums up the key goals of the Masonic movement.
