Scott Anderson, A Salesman for a local payment processor and native Minnesotan hailing from the FAR western suburbs, is gratefully continuing the family line of Freemasonry.  In the recent past,  my Grandfather represented his Shrine’s fund raising efforts on the local TV break-out session of the Jerry Lewis Telethon.   Both my Grandfather and I are from a long line of family who have represented America’s military interests traceable from the Civil War, WW I, WW II, and culminating with my M1A1 Tank Battalion in Desert Storm. Thanks to Uncle Sam, I attended the University of Minnesota, Having season tickets for three years to Gopher’s hockey with a friend who is likely to petition our lodge in the near future.

		Dennis Severson, A computer programmer and avid photographer, petitioned Minneapolis 19 in November 2007 after gaining an interest in what Masonry has to offer; which was a result of his long time friendship with brother (and current Master) Roger Wainwright.   He currently resides in downtown Minneapolis and has an 18 year old son that will be pursuing an education in photography this fall.  He has worked as a computer programmer for over 20 years, and in addition to his full time job at a local manufacturer, has a personal business providing those services as well.   Given the long 150 year history of Minneapolis 19 and the new progressive direction it is taking, as well as the beautiful Harrington Mansion in which it resides, Dennis is excited about being a new member of the lodge and looks forward to contributing to its betterment.
