Supreme Council, 33°. Scottish Rite, NMJ. 2017 Video Necrology. Portraits by Travis Simpkins


Supreme Council Necrology 2017 - Portraits by Travis Simpkins


     In my work for the Supreme Council, one of the more solemn aspects is creating charcoal portraits for the necrology. This is the 2017 video that was shown last year at the Annual Communication in Rochester, NY. In addition to the departed NMJ Active Members, it also pays tribute to Prince Hall SGC Solomon Wallace, Senator/Astronaut John Glenn and Golfer/Philanthropist Arnold Palmer. The Supreme Council production staff did a wonderful job in assembling the portraits into a meaningful video presentation.
