William Hamrick

His record is a testament to lifelong Masonic service. It is remarkable to note that he was raised as a Master Mason in 1927 but didn\'t serve as Worshipful Master of Lubbock Lodge until 1980—a span of 53 years between being raised and sitting in the East. He also served the Lodge as Chaplain right up until his passing. Past Master Biography: William C. Hamrick (1904 – 1986) Past Master: Lubbock Lodge No. 1392 Year Served: 1980–1981 I.
