Kennebunk man elected to Masons' highest post
PORTLAND Capping 30 years as a Mason, a Kennebunk man has been elected Grand Master of the Masons of Maine, the fraternal organization's highest office in the state. nald S. Smith, 58, of Western Avenue was named at Tuesday's convention held here at Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge. He succeeds George E. Pashard of Lewiston Smith was also elected com mittee chairman of the Conference of Grand Masters of North America, the first time a Maine native has been named to the office. The Portland attorney moved to Kennebunk a year ago, marrying the former Ann Doane. They have a 16-year-old son, Howard Doane, and Smith has a son and a daughter, Howard Jr. and Patricia, both grown, from the previous marriage. Smith's father, John Smith, served as mayor of Saco from 1924 to 1927. I think it's just marvelous, says Mrs. Smith of her husband's election. He is so well liked all the members. Smith himself was in the midst of a conference and not available this morning. Aside from his devotion to the Masons, Smith enjoys deer hunting, says Mrs. Smith. Many times he has brought home the makings for track soup. Others elected by the Masons Tuesday were: Rogert P. Snelling of Scarborough, deputy grand master, Oscar M. Hartford of Lewiston, senior grand warden, Richard H. Haskell of Portland, junior grand warden, M. Donald Gardner of Portland and Phillip D. Tingley of Houston, trustees. Peter C. Schmidt of Denmark was re-elected grand secretary, and Bruce Tornquit of Portland was re-elected grand treasurer.
