We presented the Golden Trowel Award to Brother Toby Calhoun last night. RW Steve Sperry was present to assist WM Chad Conn present the award.

Brother Calhoun is a Past Master of Lubbock Lodge 1392 to which he held in 2000 – 2001, Past High Priest of Royal Arch Chapter #248, Past Thrice Illustrious Master of Lubbock Council of Royal and Select Masters #183, and Past Eminent Commander of Knights Templar #60. 

Brother Calhoun received the Golden Trowel in 2004.

This is a rare occurrence for some lodges – to see a brother receive more than one Golden Trowel Award. Brother Calhoun is always available to assist in anyway he can. Rather it be helping cleaning the lodge, putting a wheel chair ramp in at a Brother’s house, esoteric work, or just teaching the “new guy” how to make coffee. He is always engaged. 

Brother Calhoun – this award is well deserved and your brothers love you and respect you. 

Golden Trowel – 2024

James A. Clark


For James, the journey of Masonry—which began in May 2000 at Clinton Lodge No. 23—is about more than just titles. Currently active in Lubbock Lodge No. 1392, Wolfforth-Frenship Lodge No. 1447, and various York and Scottish Rite bodies, he sees these affiliations as avenues for deep Masonic education. James advocates for a Craft where the bonds of the dining hall are supported by a dedication to our ancient truths. His mission within the District 93 MWSA and beyond is to harmonize social ties with reflection, moving the brotherhood from rote memorization toward the genuine pursuit of light.
