    Nobles, death and the dead are with us again. The Black Camel on his unceasing journey, has now called at the tents of two of our Past Potentates, Grover C. Nolle and Robert S. Temme. They sleep the sleep that knows no waking, but their spirits have winged their flight to that blissful Lodge which will remain open through the endless ages of eternity.

For over 35 years he served his Temple faithfully as representative, and he served Shrinedom in general throughout the United States as a member, and many times Chairman, of the powerful Jurisprudence and Laws Committee of the Imperial Council. He participated actively in the affairs of our Temple until his death on January 23,1958. As a member of the legal profession, he was preeminent and he handled many of the most important cases of his time.

While he was born in Seattle, he joined the Masonic Lodge in Anchorage, Alaska, after which he moved to Tacoma to engage in business. During the war he became regional assistance auditor of the U. S. Maritime Commission. Bob served us as Potentate in 1946 with great credit to himself, and honor to the fraternity. In the life of the community in which he took such an active part, and especially as Commissioner of Public Safety for the City of Tacoma, he initiated many reforms and improvements which are still in effect. In the midst of life, duty and usefulness, he was overtaken by death on February
