Only being age 28 I use to ask myself everyday, What have I done for my fellow man? What have I done to make a difference? And everyday the feeling remained the same "Nothing".

That is when I began to learn more about the history of our nation, America and the Americans that mattered so much.

Oh yes they were almost all masons. This is what made me say I wanted to become part of a history of making good men better, learning to grow spiritually and morally in the persuit of what may or may not be found but by helping myself grow as well as helping my fellow brothers expand on our ever growing experience called life.

This is part of why I became a mason and continue to strengthen myself as a mason today.

Fraternally yours
