Maine Masonry Today

Maine Masonry has many notable men in its ranks; men who have accomplished great things in the eyes of a grateful society by performing acts that are just a part of doing their jobs. Our Grand Secretary R.W. Brother Hollis G. Dixon is one of them. He is a Mason who values the act of contributing to his community but would rather not stand in the spotlight for it. He is modest by nature and true to his core beliefs of good citizenship, service, and integrity. Please join us in congratulating Hollis for being named Legendary Trooper of the Maine State Police. Hollis was awarded the honor in a ceremony last week in Augusta and presented with a plaque in recognition of that honor.

Pictured in the photo from left to right are: Maine State Police Lt. Ralph Pinkham, Retired, who presented the award to Hollis; Maine State Police Captain Hollis "Tom" Dixon, Retired; Gov. John Baldacci; Maine Commissioner of Public Safety Ann Jordan; and Maine State Police Col. Patrick Fleming.  Also in attendance but not pictured were other Troopers who are Masons. Captain Guy Savage, Maine State Police, Retired, who was Tom's first Sgt. when he joined the State Police and Guy's son, Cpl. Breen Savage, Retired, who Tom helped train when Breen joined the State Police. (Breen supplied the picture). Also Lt. Gerald "Red" Therrien, Retired, who is active in the Shrine and who Tom raised when he was Master of the Maine State Police Masonic Degree Team.
