S. Parvin came to Iowa as a handicapped young man, and became one of the best-known Masons in the world. He was the first Mason in Iowa to hold the office of Grand Secretary, Grand High Priest, Grand Master of the Council, Grand Commander, and Grand Recorder of the Grand Encampment (National). As founder of the Iowa Masonic Library and the State Library of Iowa, he left his mark on both Freemasonry and his adopted state. He was one of the founders of the Iowa State Education Association and served as its president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The T. S. Parvin Award, established in 1982 by the Iowa Conference for Masonic Cooperation is presented annually to an Iowa Mason, who has not previously been honored by having been elected or appointed to a Grand Office in any Masonic body. (Nor higher than the 32 degree in the Scottish Rite), and who best exemplifies the spirit of Masonry which was lived by our distinguished Brother who said, “I want to be remembered among Masons as one who gave the Fraternity the very best there was in him, not thinking of reward in dollars and cents.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A committee composed of the Grand Master of Masons, Grand High Priest; Grand Master of the Council, Grand Commander, Sovereign Grand Inspector General 33° and Chairman of the Iowa Conference chose the recipient from nominations submitted from all parts of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recipients of the Award are listed below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YEAR - RECIPIENT, LODGE NAME&lt;br /&gt;1982 - J Kent Zickefoose, Capital Lodge No 110&lt;br /&gt;1983 - Carl J Van Sickle, Otley Lodge No. 299 *&lt;br /&gt;1984 - Stanley G Schreiber, Hiram of Tyre Lodge No. 203 *&lt;br /&gt;1985 - C Warren Delk, Auburn Lodge No. 592 *&lt;br /&gt;1986 - Donald R Hankens, Speculative Lodge No. 307 *&lt;br /&gt;1987 - J Neil Chicken, Faith Lodge No. 179 *&lt;br /&gt;1988 - Arthur D Alber, Southgate Lodge No. 657 *&lt;br /&gt;1989 - Charles L Jones , Northern Light Lodge No. 266 *&lt;br /&gt;1990 - Laurence E Kynett, Emulation Lodge No. 255 *&lt;br /&gt;1991 - John W Mathes, Waveland Park Lodge No. 654 *&lt;br /&gt;1992 - Delman L Bowers, Waterloo Lodge No. 105 *&lt;br /&gt;1993 - Aaron L Lake, Davenport Lodge No. 37&lt;br /&gt;1994 - Rex L Brammer , Mosaic Lodge No. 125&lt;br /&gt;1995 - Paul K Mc Crea , Montague Lodge No. 117&lt;br /&gt;1996 - Jerry F Monroe, Adel Lodge No. 80&lt;br /&gt;1997 - George S Eichhorn, Acorn Lodge No. 601&lt;br /&gt;1998 - Robert Lee Goeken, Grove Lodge No. 492&lt;br /&gt;1999 -Howard H Geddes, Adel Lodge No. 80&lt;br /&gt;2000 - Frank C.
