Undeniably and as rightfully stressed, MW Fajardo is <strong>the</strong> GL historians’ historian.<br />

As our 1986 <strong>GM</strong>, <strong>the</strong> reconstruction <strong>of</strong> our history was his undeviating preoccupation.<br />

plus a study I made in <strong>the</strong> etymology <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lodge</strong>s including those no<br />

longer working.<br />

to <strong>the</strong> brethren, I collected <strong>the</strong> pictures <strong>of</strong> our Masonic temples <strong>of</strong> our Masonic<br />

temples including those old building used as meeting places by our Masonic forbears.<br />

demonstrating <strong>the</strong> sincerity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir past esteem for him …<br />
