Larry W. Pflughaupt was a 60-year SPJST member. His affinity for SPJST goes back to when Larry was 15, and he was honored as the first Prince of Lodge 88, Houston—a royal title which he earned at an early age and one which set the standard for what was to follow. Throughout his teens, Larry remained active by participating in the lodge youth program and later the adult activities, including performing in the English plays. Lodge 88, Houston members elected Larry as president in 1982 and 1983. He initiated Czech language instruction at the lodge during his first year as president. It was a program that would continue for the next 15 years. It was also in 1982 that Larry became an SPJST sales representative. Larry was first elected SPJST District Five Director in 2000, a position which he held until 2016 when he opted to turn over the reins to the next generation. He also represented his lodge as a delegate to numerous SPJST Conventions.
