His interest in Masonic Research and Education has led to his membership In a number of Research

member of Quator Coronati. He served as Worshipful Master of Walter F. Meier Lodge of

of articles and publications.

His good humor and incisive, yet wise, decisions guided the 134th Annual Communication to a
harmonious close that left each Brother with the feeling that "his Jurisdiction" had been entrusted
to a good pair of hands. Most Worshipful Brother Sid's irrepressible, pixi-ish sense of humor stood
him in good stead, as it has throughout the 1990-91 Masonic year.

Most Worshipful Brother Sidney Kase, MD, was called from labor on November 10, 2008.
