I don’t know much about it other than my grandfather and at least one of my uncles were Freemasons. I know it is a charitable organization. One young man that I used to work with, he’s in his early 20’s now, is not only a Freemason, but also a Shriner and I think and Elk. He is one of the kindest most selfless and courageous people I know. He’s always going to meetings where they help the elderly and sick people etc. He also teaches young people self defense. Not sure what their exact mission/philosophy is, but they are definitely do-gooders and they get to wear very cool looking fez hats. I know he was legit, because all of us ladies asked to see his ring. He was so cute that he blushed when we asked to see it. I wish more young people would follow his example. My grandma was also a Rebecca, which is kind of the female equivalent of the Masons. She was a very kind and generous soul.
