Photo Blast from the Past

From the OSIA News Archives, 1955: 

 

 

 

As OSIA prepares to return to Philadelphia, Pa., for it's 53rd Biennial National Convention, let's take a look back at this photo of OSIA's Golden Jubilee Convention (24th Biennial National Convention) held in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1955. 

 

Convention leaders at the time were OSIA Supreme Venerable (National President) George J. Spatuzza and Pennsylvania Grand Lodge President Judge Eugene V. Alessandroni. 

 

The first Supreme Lodge Convention ever held in Philadelphia took place on the Order's 10th anniversary in 1915. Nearly 100 years later, we look forward to returning to the City of Brotherly Love to celebrate the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania's 100th anniversary. Auguri!
