Allen E. Roberts His Bio and Books (1917-1997) The many books and writings of Allen E. Roberts helped to shape the Masonic experience of countless Masons, as well as introducing compelling images of this diverse fraternity to people not familiar with the craft. Among the evidence of his influence was the renaming of the library and museum of the Grand Lodge of Virginia as the Allen E. Roberts Masonic Library and Museum in 1994. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on October 11, 1917, Allen served in World War II aboard the U.S.S. Alabama and L.S.T. 877. Upon his discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1946 he settled in Highland Springs, Virginia, where he became active in Freemasonry. Among the positions he held in Masonry were:
As a result of his work in these groups and his active participation in Masonic research lodges, Allen produced a widely varied series of books over the course of thrity five years:
Also interested in motion pictures, Allen produced a number of films--often dealing with Freemasonry--as well as four plays. He founded two companies, Imagination Unlimited! and Anchor Communications, the second of which continues to be operated by his family. Allen was married for fifty years to Dorothy Marie Grimes and had five children: Allen, Wayne, Kenneth, Brian, and Marcia Lynne Roberts Weber. In return they gave him five grand- children and ten great grandchildren.
