My Brothers,

I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me by electing me to serve as your Junior Grand Warden.

Seven years ago, my wife, Rachael, and I began this incredible journey together. We could never have imagined the friendships, lessons, and opportunities that would come from being part of this Great Fraternity.

Through countless miles traveled across our state, I have been blessed to meet dedicated Masons whose commitment to our principles and obligations continue to inspire me.

As I accept this responsibility, I do so with gratitude, humility, and a profound respect for the office and the Brethren I serve. While this journey has taken me to every corner of Florida, I will never forget my roots, the Lodge that shaped me, and the Brothers who encouraged and supported me along the way. There are too many to count but most especially, to M∴W∴ Louis A. King, he was more than a mentor; he was my friend and my second dad.

Thank you for your confidence, your friendship, and your faith in my ability to serve. Rachael and I are grateful for the love and support we have received throughout this journey, and we look forward to continuing to serve the Craft together.

May we continue to work side by side for the good of our Fraternity and the betterment of those we serve.

Remember to honor the past and accept the future!

Respectfully and fraternally,

R∴W∴ John N. Dragneff

Junior Grand Warden
