What brought you to Freemasonry?
I was baptized at the Roslindale Congregational Church, which was gathered in 1890. Men from the church were instrumental in forming Prospect Lodge, which was chartered in the same year and also in Roslindale. The church continued a long tradition of men belonging to both, one of whom was Bruce Marshall who recommended I join Prospect Lodge and sponsored me. I later affiliated with Rabboni Lodge to expand my close Masonic relationships.

What brought you to Freemasonry?
The short answer is, a friend brought me in, but that would be a very underwhelming response. I was driven by cusiosity initially, but later on through investigation, asking questions and talking to friends who are members, I discovered many aspects that are important to me. The most important one being charity. Freemasons are by far the most charitbale institution in the world and the work being done for the community and people in need is unparalleled.
