History of San Pedro Lodge No. 966

Through Fifty Golden Years with San Pedro Lodge No.966
By C. H. Foot and David Lewis Gershon, Jr.
Published in 1955

This book was originally intended as a history of B.P.O.E. 966 solely. But the author found the fortunes of the Lodge so interwoven through its members with the development of its community that it was impossible to refrain from commingling the growth of San Pedro.

It is for this reason that the writer wishes to pay tribute to C. Harrison "Lucky" Foot, P.E.R., 1933 - 34, who is known to his friends as "Mr. Elk" and "Mr. San Pedro."

Without Foot's vast knowledge of the events herein described, and without his indefatigable searching of the Lodge's records, the writer would have been unable to complete the history in the time allotted.

The writer feels that this book should be dedicated to B.P.O.E. 966 and its members, past, present and future, generally, and more personally, indeed, to "Lucky".

-David Lewis Gershon, Jr.
