To me, Freemasonry is about Brotherhood, locally. But then you realize that it means the same around the U.S. and the world as
 well (and maybe even the universe).

In Freemasonry, I have always met people of quality. The Craft is good for social and entertainment value, for intellectual pursuits and philosophical discussions. There is a feeling of community at this Lodge, an idea of Brotherhood.

Masonry provides me with a connection to my roots, especially as concerns my family - my maternal grandfather, who I never met, was a Freemason. When I was younger, I constantly heard from others that he was a good man, and that he was a Freemason - both, always, in the same sentence.
