Illustrious David Haslim, PM, inspector at large, and now the Valley of San Diego Scottish Rite Venerable Master for 2015. 

It was an important, fun and exciting occasion as SW Hackett's own Worshipful David Haslim, two-time Past Master, was, on January 14th, 2015, installed as the Venerable Master.
