🌟 Meet Brother Jim Moore... Some men collect titles. Others collect impact. Brother Jim Moore somehow managed to do both… and make it look effortless. Raised a Master Mason in 1972, Jim didn’t just walk the Masonic path, he paved quite a bit of it along the way. By 1973, he had already joined the Scottish Rite as a 32° Mason, and in 2009, he was honored with the 33°, a reflection of decades of steady dedication and quiet leadership. His Masonic journey reads like a tour through the York Rite and beyond: Past High Priest of Portage Chapter No. 202 (1980) Past Commander of Akron Commandery No. 25 (1982) Past Illustrious Master of Akron Council No. 80 (1989) Knight York Cross of Honor recipient (1990) Past Sovereign Master of Warren F. Bower Council No. 137 AMD (1995) Past Patron of Jeannette Chapter No. 212, Order of the Eastern Star That’s not a résumé… that’s a legacy carved in stone. Outside the lodge, Jim spent his professional life shaping minds as a teacher at Coventry Schools. Armed with a Mathematics degree from Muskingum University (Class of 1971), he brought logic, patience, and wisdom into the classroom… qualities that clearly carried over into his Masonic work. And when he’s not building better men or educating the next generation? You’ll likely find him enjoying a good dose of NCAA March Madness… because even the most disciplined minds appreciate a little bracket chaos. Jim may not be on Facebook, but don’t worry… this recognition will find its way to him the old-fashioned way. Printed, shared, and appreciated, just like the traditions he’s helped uphold for over 50 years. Brother Jim Moore, your dedication does not go unnoticed. The 21st District is stronger because of you. 👏
