SIX MILE — On May 5, Six Mile Lions Club past district governor George Kessler presented Harvey Anderson with a plaque recognizing him as a Franklin G. Mason Fellow.

Anderson has given dedicated service as vision chair for most of his 20 years as a Six Mile Lion. The Six Mile Lions Club donated $1,000 to the S.C. Lions Foundation in Anderson’s name.

The Dr. Franklin G. Mason Fellowship is the Foundation’s highest honor.

Mason, a Mullins dentist, was a most esteemed member of S.C. Lionism for 65 years, rising to an international director in 1988. As an avid runner, Mason ran 120 full marathons, completing his last at age 85. For 36 years, he was director of the Lions Club’s “Run for Sight.” He died in January 2019 at age 94.
