Freemasonry has been in my family for many years. My dad, who recently passed away, was a Mason for 73 years as was my paternal grandfather, paternal great grandfather, maternal grandfather, maternal great grandfather and several great uncles. I’m a Master Mason(and Lodge Secretary)and I belong to the Palo Alto Lodge No. 346 in Palo Alto, California. I enjoy the sense of brotherhood and true friendship among the brethren in my lodge. I enjoy being an officer in our lodge and strive to make a difference in the lives of my family, my brothers and our local community. If anyone has questions about Freemasonry, please reach out to me and I will do my best to answer them.
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest Fraternity in the world. Its members are joined together in an association based on brotherly love, relief and truth. These are the principal tenets of Freemasonry. Derived from these tenets are the virtues of faith, hope and charity – all supported on the three great pillars of wisdom, strength and beauty.
Its members included Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Statesmen, Generals, Admirals, Supreme Court Chief Justices, corporate CEO’s, opera stars, movie stars, and probably, your next-door neighbor (like me).
Growth in character, morality, truth and justice are some of the goals of Freemasonry – this is the primary purpose of the Fraternity of Freemasonry – “To Make Good Men Better”. As by caring and helping another you simultaneously improve your own qualities and continue your journey. #ImAMason #freemasonty
**** I am very fortunate to have my father’s and grandfather’s Mason rings.
