Brethren,
The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, Brother Donald H. Cameron, 32°, has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of life and with them has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluity of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has been granted admission to the Celestial Lodge above. His Brethren mourn the passing of a great man and Mason.
Brother Donald Hugh Cameron was born in Portland, Oregon on March 11, 1926 to Donald and Doris (Webster) Cameron. Don passed away in Nehalem, Oregon on April 20, 2019 at the age of 93. He was a 64 year member of Portland Valley Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and a Blue Lodge member of Sherwood-Midday Lodge No. 164, A.F. & A.M. of Oregon. Br. Don was the founder of Hollywood Lights, Inc., a theatrical stage lighting company he owned and operated for over 30 years and that was responsible for the most recent upgrade of the theater lighting in the Scottish Rite auditorium in the 1990s.

This is a great opportunity for any Scottish Rite Brothers to visit our Scottish Rite Clinic. Bring your family and see one of the activities your Charity is supporting.
Brethren,
The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason, Brother William C. Phillips, 32°, has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of life and with them has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluity of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has been granted admission to the Celestial Lodge above. His Brethren mourn the passing of a great man and Mason.
Brother William Claude Phillips was born on November 7th, 1951 in Portland, Oregon and passed to the Celestial Lodge on Thursday, May 30th, 2019. He was a 14 year member of Portland Valley Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Noble of Al Kader Mystic Shrine and a Blue Lodge member and Past Master of Tigard-Orenomah Lodge No. 207, A.F. & A.M.

Due to the Valley’s parking lot being unavailable during construction on the surrounding ART property the Valley’s Leadership has voted to cancel the Consistory Manifesto celebration this year on the 4th of June and postpone the 6th Degree until September 17th. More information about an alternative parking location will be sent out shortly.
We will still have a special meeting on June 25th for general Valley Elections and Budget approval. There will also still be regular Officer Meetings and KSA Stated Meetings held during June, July and August while we are dark.

This Degree takes place in on the anniversary of the death of the Master Hiram and it re-enacts the burial of that Perfect Master.

The Lessons of the Degree are; “Life is uncertain; death may call at any time. The noblest portion of humanity is virtue for virtue’s sake.”
