Past Potentates

This page is dedicated to all the Past Potentates of Ben Hur Shriners without whose leadership and tireless effort, Ben Hur Shriners would not be successful as it is today.  So we would like to take the time to thank each of our Past Potentates for their hard work, which in turn has been able to help many children throughout the years.  Many Thanks to all our Past Potentate Leaders.
