Pete James is John Wallace’s son-in-law. He, along with his son Austin (John Wallace’s grandson), are regular contributors to this site. They’re very helpful with trying to keep me both up-to-date and relatively accurate with lodge 470 images. They are also contributors to the Blue Book for this lodge.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wallace and James families in this time of mourning.
I met John a few times at TORs. I manage to run into Pete and Austin every once in a while at TORs or major national events. I embarrassed myself last Summer at NOAC when I NOT recognize Austin at NOAC.
