Mrs. Paul E. Mihal, Past Supreme Worthy President,
now a fifty year member, was initiated June 15, 1959
in Glendale Assembly No. 44. “I was initiated by my
mother, Mrs. Clarence I. Hammet who was W.P. at that
time. Glendale No. 45 consolidated with Pasadena
No. 44. I became a dual member of Monrovia No. 169
which later surrendered their charter. So that left me
as a member of Pasadena No. 44 until their surrender.
I then came to Los Angeles No. 42, and I hope I don’t
cause them to collapse as have the other 3 assemblies.
I have served as President in the 3 assemblies 8 times
and was SWP in 1984-85. I was General Chairman of
the 1981 Supreme Assembly and was elected Preceptress
in that year. (and I wasn’t even running - what a
surprise) I also have served on the following committees:
Area 2 KTEF, Chairman of Mileage, Appeals and
