Connor legacy continues through youth leadership camp

Three Colorado County youth will attend the Robert E. Connor Jr. Masonic Youth Camp this summer, continuing a legacy of leadership and service that has impacted the community for generations.

Among the campers is 9-year-old Jett Blaze Powell, whose great-uncle, the late Robert E. Connor Jr., is the camp’s namesake. Connor served as Past Grand Master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas and was also the longtime police chief for the City of Columbus.

Through the support of Jantavia Connor Powell and the Connor family, two additional young men from Colorado County will also have the opportunity to attend the camp with Jett.
