Edits re Judge Froesel's masonic career
Just wondering why someone removed the additions I had made about Judge Froesel's masonic career?

An active Freemason Froessel served as Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York for two terms, 1944 and 1945. (reference: A Masonic Portrait of the Empire State: New Millennium Commemorative Edition, Grand Lodge of New York, F&AM, 2000, New York City.) Froessel's "mother lodge" was Tadmor Lodge No. 923, founded in Ridgewood, Brooklyn, in 1914, but presently meeting in Astoria, Queens, New York. Froessel became a third-degree Mason and signed the by-laws of Tadmor Lodge on October 2, 1919, identifying his occupation as "lawyer" and his address as "230 Olmsted Place, Brooklyn," (reference: Records of Tadmor Lodge No. 923 F&AM) now 71st Street in Glendale, Queens, New York. (reference: http://stevemorse.org/census/changes/QueensChanges1_OtoQ.htm) He was the Master of Tadmor Lodge in 1926 when it dedicated its own Masonic Temple on Summerfield Street in Ridgewood. His five brothers joined the lodge that year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMHNYC (talk • contribs) 02:50, 20 January 2015 (UTC)


 * As I stated in the edit summary, his masonic activities are "irrelevant trivia", except the mention that he was at some time Grand Master of New York. Almost all politicians and notable members of the community in the United States are freemasons, elks, rotarians and/or odd fellows. Wikipedia is not "Who's Who", an encyclopedia has a different scope. Kraxler (talk) 13:30, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
