The Supreme Council Library and Museum recently received a generous
donation from William Obinger, 32°,
on behalf of Honorable Murray Sentner, 33°, of Bowie, Maryland.
Brother Sentner was born in 1923
and passed away on April 18, 2003. He was an active Mason who
was involved with the spread of Masonry overseas.
Brother Sentner was the founding Venerable Master of the American
Military Scottish Rite Bodies, Orient of NATO bases. His leadership
provided a firm foundation necessary for this organization to
become an important part of the European Masonic family. Sentner
also
helped Holocaust survivors to find homes, helped orphanages in
Europe, and
he even received a coat of arms from the heraldry of Livonia.
As President of the American Federation of Governed Employees,
Sentner
sought to raise U.S. employee’s wages in Europe where they
had received half of the amount of the U.S. minimum wage.
The gifts he presented to the Supreme Council included books,
regalia, photographs, certificates, lapel pins and other Masonic
memorabilia.
