Dale H. Ellsworth Family of Herman Carl Pallow February 23, 2014
 
Dear Family of "Carl",

On  behalf of the Universal Craftsmen Council of Engineers, Nihawk Council #10,  and Ladies Council Kwahin #10,  I wish to express our sympathies.  We were fortunate enough to enjoy Carl as Past Grand Worthy Chief and, since 2003, our Grand Historian. I had the pleasure of appointing him historian during my term. 

Carl was a joy to us all. At the Annual Conventions he told us stories of his quest for special woods for his projects. (Personally, I am fortunate to have one of his canes.)  I proudly use his cane almost daily and get many compliments on the "fish".

Carl mentored many younger members as they joined the UCC of E.

Sincerely,

Dale H. Ellsworth
Past Grand Worthy Chief
