Yesterday i was raised to a Master Mason in my local Lodge. This was quite a meaningful event for me, and i am proud to be considered part of a Lodge. The Craft has played a major role for me throughout most of my life, albeit mostly in the background. No one in my family, that i know of anyway, was a Mason; however, i grew up down the road from the George Washington Masonic Temple in Alexandria, VA so i saw Masonic symbols everywhere. I have wanted to join for a long time but never knew a member.
Who knows, maybe i can start a Masonic Reefers club
