Our Association was started in 1953, and Harold Geisler, from Antioch Temle, in Dayton, Ohio served as our President for three years. Our records show that his years of service were 1953-1954, 1954-1955, and 1955-1956. S. John Mack, from Moslem Temple, followed him from 1956-1957. Robert Lee Clark, from Mahi Temple, was next as he served from 1957-1958. Next was Steve Eiberger, from Medinah, who served in 1958-1959. Frank T. Butler, from Zamora was next and he served from 1959-1960. These officers, and others coming up the line were from around North America for a great cross section of participation and leadership. For those formative years, the secretary/treasurer was generally the new man on the bottom of the line. Later, the president appointed the Secretary/Treasurer. Wayne F. Bray, Past President, who served from 1986-1987, from El Mina Temple was our first Executive Secretary. In 1996, incoming President, Stan Horn, from Arabia Temple, appointed Jack T. Knight, from Sharon Temple as the new Executive Secretary. Our by-laws were amended to have the Secretary/Treasurer elected for a three year term, and Jack T. Knight was elected. Jack served from 1996-2007, when he tendered his resignation and John Anderson, from Al Menah, was elected to serve as our second elected Secretary/Treasurer
| Request for Info If any of you from around North America have any specific information on the history of our Association, please forward that information to Jack T. Knight, so I can direct that specific knowledge to make our history book more complete. During our history, we have had officers from a great cross section of North America, from Florida to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to Massachusetts, to Texas and many places in between.
| Thanks to the Nobility I want to take this opportunity to personally thank all the Nobles, Ladies and families who have supported our organization throughout the years to help make our organization one to be very proud of. As our new officers continue leading and serving, please help them, as you have helped us, to succeed as we all dedicate our labor.
As our motto states, "WE RIDE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CHILDREN" Jack T. Knight, Historian, IASMC
