Ronald Leslie Gale, a former international trade consultant and a Freemason, was born at Gunnedah, N.S.W., in 1928.

Ron was initiated and raised into Freemasonry by his father, Leslie Herbert Robert Gale, in 1951; Gale's son John Leslie is a fourth-generation Freemason. Between 1970 and 1979 Gale was elected to nine United Grand Lodge of New South Wales offices, culminating in his election as Junior Grand Warden. In 1979, as Chairman of the Public Relations Sub-Committee of the Masonic Centre Opening Committee, he presided over celebrations for the new headquarters of the Grand Lodge in Sydney, and organised the International Masonic Festival at the same venue.
