The first of the Peat Family to be Initiated in October 1965. Worshipful Master in 1976, 1977 and 1993, W. Bro. Sam went on to
become Director of Ceremonies and Preceptor of The Doric Lodge of Instruction. The high standards he set, and the respect he
commanded, are still with us, and to this day are a significant factor in the high esteem in which the workings of The Doric Lodge No. 933
are held by other Lodges. W. Bro. Sam was sadly called to The Grand Lodge above in 1999 but his presence is very much felt by the
Brethren of Doric, especially during the performance of our ritual, when, whispers of his observations can be heard by some!
