B
orn in Moorcroft, Wyoming
(pop. 1,009) during the depth
of the Great Depression, Allen
Gresham was the son of a school
teacher. When the family moved to
El Centro CA, Allen’s father put
down permanent roots and advanced
in the public school system to the
position of School Superintendent. In
high school, Allen was both athlete and
scholar and, in 1949, he was admitted
to the small, prestigious, Occidental
College in Los Angeles. That same year his father served as Master of El
Centro Masonic Lodge 384. While at Occidental, Allen had served as
Student Body President, but still found time to achieve academic honors.
He earned a B.A. degree in 1953, and was accepted to Stanford Law
School. That first year at Stanford, Allen married Clara, whom he met
while at Occidental. In December 1955, at El Centro Lodge 384, Allen
was raised to Master Mason. When he graduated from Law School, the
military draft was after almost every able-bodied young man. So, off went
Allen into the Army as a Private. He quickly advanced to the rank of
Corporal and spent the majority of his service at the predecessor location
to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, dealing with Top Secret documents.
Allen was honorably discharged in 1959, passed examination, was
admitted to the California Bar, and secured a job with Lonergan and
Jordan Law Firm in San Bernardino. Dealing in civil litigation, with an
emphasis in eminent domain, he represented large corporations, as well
as people whose property was being acquired for public purposes. He
was a go-getter right from the start and, in 1962, was made a partner. Bro.
Gresham affiliated with San Bernardino Lodge 178 and, at that time, was
appointed to serve with the Masonic Grand Lodge of CA (from 1962 to
1996). He remained active with Blue Lodge and, in1967, was Master of
Lodge 178. Elected to the Grand Line in 1997, he served as Grand
Master of Masons in CA—an organization with over 100,000 members.
He was coroneted a 33° Inspector General—Honorary with the Valley of
San Bernardino Scottish Rite, and served for several years as Personal
Representative to the Sovereign Grand Inspector General in CA.
Allen did not confine himself to Freemasonry, but also became active in
the community. He served as local club president for the Kiwanis, and
later, as their Lieutenant Governor. In 1970, he headed up the YMCA,
local United Way, Symphony Association, and was President of the County
Bar Association. Allen said “you should never join an organization unless
you were willing to serve as its President.” His life was a faithful portrayal
of that motto, because he headed every organization he ever joined. For
several years, Allen was appointed by the Governor of CA to serve on the
Mount San Jacinto Winter Park Authority, a State agency that operates the
Palm Springs Tram. He was publicly elected to the San Bernardino Valley
College Board of Trustees, and served for over 37 years. In recognition of
his outstanding service, the College named a building in honor of the
Greshams. He served for many years on Occidental’s Board of Trustees,
and through the generosity of the Greshams, the college named a Dining
Hall in honor of Allen and Clara. Another group he once headed was
Inland Action, an influential business organization. He additionally served
on the Boards of Saint Bernardine Medical Center and Los Angeles Shrine
Hospital for Children. Allen and Clara were members of the Presbyterian
Church in San Bernardino and were part of that Church’s Mariners Group.
Allen Gresham spent most of his active career in law as the managing
partner of what, today, is a 55-attorney firm, with offices in San
Bernardino,Riverside, San Diego, and Los Angeles—each of which still
bear his name: “Gresham, Savage, Nolan & Tilden.” He was truly an
extraordinarily bright and able trial attorney, who always conducted
himself as a complete gentleman—never resorting to trickery or underhandedness. He retired in 2003, at age 72, after being with the same law
firm for 44 years. That same year, he received the prestigious John B. Surr
Award from the San Bernardino County Bar Association for his
“Outstanding Career Accomplishments as an Attorney”.
On the personal and family side: Allen is survived by his wife Clara
[of 60 years]; two sons—Bruce and Brooks, who blessed them with five
grandchildren.
Illustrious and Most Worshipful Allen B. Gresham, 33°, Past Grand
Master of Masons in CA, and a former Personal Representative for our
Valley, passed away on Easter Sunday, 2014. Allen was one-of-a-kind,
excelling in everything he did. He served as an example for all of us to
follow—as best we can. He was an exceptional leader whose impact on
our area was significant; not just on Freemasonry, but on our community
as a whole. He was a great example of the Horatio Alger story of success.

O A CLINIC STAR OF THE MONTH
R

E
R
bout three year ago, one of my students had a 4-year old
brother named Noah. Mom was trying to help Noah
begin to learn his letters. I remember she made comments
about how difficult it was to get him to learn the letters
and sounds of the alphabet.
Now, let’s fast forward to 2014. I received a distressed
phone message to please call Noah’s mom. She knew
exactly where to call for help. Noah was now schoolage and still struggling to learn his letters and sounds.
Mom stated that the letters and their sounds “just did
not stick for Noah”. So, we began very slowly to do
whatever was necessary to help Noah acquire this
essential literacy foundation of connecting sounds to
letters and letters to sounds.
Today, Noah is able to whip through the alphabet cards
and verbalize their names and sounds very quickly and
automatically. Additionally, he can also blend the sounds
together to make words. He knows three kinds of word
patterns and he is well on his way to learning essential
sight words.
Noah is a persistent worker and an enthusiastic student,
always with a smile. See photos [below] of Noah and
Sharon Visser in clinic setting. He deserves to be our
CLINIC STAR OF THE MONTH!

HOW HAS THE CLINIC CHANGED HIS LIFE? “It was the most dramatic year of growth. Before, his
State testing was below basic, or at basic in all areas. Now, for the last two years, he is proficient or advanced in
everything. It has been the best experience ever, and was well worth every minute of driving and clinic time spent.”

SCOTTISH RITE VALLEY OF SAN BERNARDINO — SWEETHEARTS’CELEBRATION
Following our February 17th Stated Meeting Dinner, a fitting tribute was delivered to all Scottish Rite Sweethearts by Illustrious
John C. Nolan, 33°, Personal Representative to the Sovereign Grand Inspector General in California. Each Sweetheart was
then presented with a long-stem yellow rose and, afterward, escorted by Knights of St. Andrew members for a group photo.
Each month, Josie and her family crew setup the dining room
with various themes to support our Scottish Rite activities.
In February, the theme was Valentine’s Day, and the tables
were adorned with beautiful violet. pink and white table cloths

T
he Valley of San Bernardino Scottish Rite has two Class Reunions each year; one in the Spring, and another in the Fall.
Over the past three decades, a great number of our Valley members who have passed away, have not replaced with new members.
This has created an extreme shortage, and one that needs our immediate attention. Each member of our Valley has to do his part, in order to help turn
this deficit around. Next, members need to take copies of our monthly Scottish Rite bulletins with them to their respective Blue Lodge to share with
newly raised Master Masons. And, second, canvas these lodges for Scottish Rite members who, for whatever reasons, have become inactive. Share
=what we do and give them an overview of various positions we have available that need filling. Then—entice these members to return and get active.
K
nights of St. Andrew (KSA) membership is open to all 32° [black hat] Masters of the Royal Secret. This
prestigious unit is very active within our Valley, and its members can be found serving as officers within our
four Bodies; on a variety of committees and teams, and often involved in special activities. The KSA are readily
identified by their black wool Glengarry styled cap (similar to U.S. military overseas cap), bordered with black silk
ribbon which surrounds entire cap at the bottom edge—extending upward by 1/4 inch, and joining at the back to form
two strands of one inch wide ribbon that hangs down. There is a 1” diameter toorie (pompom or tuff) of red wool
affixed to the top center of cap, and a silver KSA emblem pinned to the left side—centered toward the front portion
of the cap The top officers are further identified by plumage (feathers) attached to the left side of their wool cap (three for 1st Knight; two for
2nd Knight; and one for Past 1st Knights). KSA also wears blue plaid tartans over the right shoulder, affixed at the waste. Please contact Bro.
Lee Whelan, 32° KSA—Past 1st Knight, for more information: 951-784-4500; 951-830-1295; or via Email: [email protected].
P
etitions for the Scottish Rite Degrees are available in the General Secretary’s Office and may also be
downloaded from our on-line Web site <www.srmasons-sb.org> Your Blue Lodge can be the leader in
“Top-Line Signers” for our Valley. Tell new Master Masons and other members of your Blue Lodge about how they can
receive the same further light that “you” received, via the Scottish Rite, by becoming a 32° Master of the Royal Secret.
REMEMBER: Our [ONE-DAY] Scottish Rite Class Reunions are held in the SPRING and FALL months.
T
he Editor forwards names of all newly Raised Master Masons to our General Secretay who, in turn, prepares a letter
of congratulations, along with an open invitation for each 3° Mason and his lady to join us at a Stated Meeting.
Dinner, which is held at 6:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month. This serves as an “ice-breaker” and gives
our members an opportunity to meet these prospective candidates; give them a tour of our facilities, and answer any
questions they may have about the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Children’s Clinic a/o our Valley, in particular
There are currently 21 Blue Lodges within the area served by the Scottish Rite Valley of San Bernardino. This
basically includes the Inland Empire and High Desert. We welcome all Masons and encourage them to join us.
