Brethren, we all have different stories. Why did you choose to petition Freemasonry?
I was always curious but there was a considerable age different between those that I knew were masons and myself. I figured for one reason or another I wouldn't be eligible. Then, a kid that worked for me let out that he was a Mason at the local lodge. He was younger than me so I figured I had been wrong and I began asking question. He told me that the Fraternity could be summed up with these words: "to make good men better." I had just had my second child and was having an internal battle with myself. I didn't feel I was living up to my expectation of what a good father was and I was looking for something to help me with that. When I heard him his say make a good man better I was all about it. I did everything I had to get into this great fraternity. And ever since I was raised to the sublime degree of master mason I have made sure to continue my journey is whatever way I could. I am in Italy now; here they will take you through the Scottish rite degrees in one whole day. I've heard that in the states it takes longer and you get more out it so I am holding off until I get back to go there. Anyway, that's my story.
Family tradition on my Dad's side, although he never joined, lots of Masons on both sides of his family.
Several on my Mom's though they are all children of her cousins.
