  My experience with freemason&apos;s is through my grandparents .My grandfather &amp; grandmother were both Navy veterans. My grandfather was a Shriner, we&apos;d go to the circus every year and he&apos;d drive a mini car with other men wearing the funny hats at the circus. We&apos;d go to the lodge on weekends and eat, us kids would sing karaoke, Etc. My grandparents would take us to church every Sunday, but I&apos;m not sure if they were religious they never talked about their beliefs. My grandparents would take us to Disney magic Kingdom every year, they loved us very much. So from a perspective of growing up around this, i still find it problematic to be involved in a secret society &quot;brotherhood&quot;. If my grandfather was still alive i would have many questions for him.

  I have been a Freemason since 1969. I have served in several chairs around the lodge, including Worshipful Master for two years. I have attended the Illinois Grand Lodge for several years. My fraternity brothers are my lifelong friends. My dad was a Freemason for over fifty years. It&apos;s a great group of fellow Masons who seek to make good men better.

  My grandfather was a 32nd degree mason. He lived in the Dallas TX area. He was a long-time employee of John E. Mitchell Company in Dallas. He&apos;s responsible for creating the prototype of the popular iced drink machine, called a &quot;slushie&quot; machine, as part of his work with John E. Mitchell Company. I always admired him for his exceptional character and kindness. Through his association with freemasonry he introduced my grandmother to the masons and she became a member of the Eastern Star.

  Bill Armstrong owned &apos;Bill&apos;s Burgers&apos;, and he hired me to cook, which meant washing dishes, scrubbing floors, polishing windows, sweeping the lot, and cooking. He had a big ring, like a high school ring. He said he recieved the ring when he achieved the final degree of freemasonry. He recalled sobbing after the experience, like a revelation had occurred. He said it was the best thing he ever did. I remember him as a father figure, a great man.

  It is really nice to be a member or part &nbsp;of one of the oldest fraternity.

  How fascinating to read the eclectic assortment of comments. &nbsp;More interesting than the lecture. &nbsp;When people wake up to the big religious con we can all immerse ourselves in life.

  Symbols are a shortcut to the subconscious mind and can trigger, if programmed, physiological and behavioral responses.

  &quot;It is difficult to conceive of a Perfect Will without confounding it with something like mechanism.&quot;
