What makes a mason for me is how he acts and what he says and how he says it. Nothing to do with titles, that's often about rank and not the man. I will also say this, we have several MWPGMs who I think are much better masons now than they were when they were Grand Masters. Great to see; that...

This is a potentially interesting post. When you say "initial meeting" was it a just a first catch up or supposed to be an initiation ? Freemasons can be funny, if they think you are unreliable, they will not welcome you because it might reflect on your character. However, I know, often good men...

Prayers and thoughts for your family Brother !

I'd say no one has answered because they don't know. It is probably a question best put to Google. I just did that and formed the view he was not... but I am no expert on American Freemasons. Australian Freemasons, that's different... but not from other countries..
