Most everyone in the Northern Neck knows Robert “Bob” Mason from his work as editor of the Rappahannock Record and from his dedicated community service.

You probably didn’t know that Bob has been a zealous member of Friends of Belle Isle State Park for over twenty years. He has demonstrated outstanding and distinguished service to the organization, the park, and the community serving as the music director for the Friend’s Music by the River concert series since its inception. He has been a major fundraiser for the series and the organization.
In recognition of his service and friendship, on October 6, 2025, the Friends conferred Life Membership upon Robert D. Mason Jr.
Thanks so much Bob!
