Two Knights Templar Eye Foundation Golden Chalice Presentations in Pennsylvania

Two Golden Chalice presentations were made in the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar of Pennsylvania within Pittsburgh Commandery No. 1 and Duquesne Commandery No. 72.

Sir Knight Larry D. Horath, Pennsylvania’s Eye Foundation State Chairman presented the Golden Chalice to Sir Knight Michael A. Wolcott in recognition of his contribution of $10,000 to the Knights Templar Eye Foundation. Presentation was made during the annual Crystal Ball held by Pittsburgh Commandery No. 1

On hand for this great event were Grand Commandery officers and the officers and members of the Commandery.

The second Golden Chalice was a $10,000 contribution to the Knights Templar Eye Foundation from Duquesne Commandery No. 72 in memory of Sir Knight Nichol Jameson, Treasurer of the Commandery.  Sir Knight Jameson was the advisor, confidant, friendly face, and a constructive criticizer of “his boys”. He provided a warm greeting to all new candidates on their journey and after they became Knights Templar, he gently instructed all of them on how to, where to and when to.
