was Coroneted Inspector General, Honorary 33rd Degree at Seattle.
Our Brother’s Grand Lodge tour began with his appointment as Deputy of the Grand Master in
District No. 24 for 1983-1984, and again in 1987. In 1988, he was a member of the Masonic Home
Endowment Committee. In 1989-1990, he served as Grand Chaplain and in 1990-1991 was
appointed Grand Bible Bearer, and in 1991-1992 was a member of the Jurisprudence Committee.
His elective Grand Lodge offices began in June, 1992, when he was elected Junior Grand Warden.
He would progress through the elected line in the usual fashion, being elected Grand Master at the
1995 Annual Communication in Wenatchee.
Throughout his tenure as Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Stedman addressed business
related issues dealing with future funding needs, the Masonic Retirement Center, and board
governance. His focus, however was on the lodges. This was evident in his theme: “Strengthen
Our Lodges, The Ties That Bind”. In his message to the Craft, M⸫W⸫ Brother Stedman shared
these words: “As a Fraternity we certainly have membership and financial needs but the ultimate
driving force must be our Masonic Tenets and Masonic Principles.”
Most Worshipful Brother Glen Preston Stedman remained an active participant in his lodge and
Grand Lodge until he passed to the Celestial Lodge above on April 17, 2005.
