Berkeley Springs Council #117 Junior Order United American Mechanics has chosen to recognize the continuous contributions to their organization, family, church and community of a dedicated member. John Easton has been selected as the 2007 elder statesman. He has been an active member of Junior Order since March 1973.

For 34 years, he has served in the local council offices, on committees and assisted in fundraising events. All anyone had to say was "would you do" and you could count on him saying yes. At the state level, he served in many areas with the same enthusiasm and was elected State Councilor in 1996.
