How many "like-minded brothers" like me are out there? Let it be known...I can't be the only one!

 

[Wayne County Hose]

I, just like yourself, used to be normal too. However, I feel much better now.

Traveling man here.

Looks like us "Traveling Men" are a declining, dying breed...membership is down practically everywhere...I'm the last in the line of succession in my family. Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Father, two Uncles and me. Sad to see it. Miss the fellowship. They were all present and participated when I was "raised" at the age of 21. My Great-Grandfather was 96 and non ambulatory for my raising, but insisted on attending...he was very proud. He passed on shortly afterward. That was over 30 years ago.

Always good to hear from a Canadian Brother!

I guess I'm not one because I have no idea what you are talking about.

If you don't get it, you're right...you wouldn't be one! Ask some of your friends, co-workers, etc. what a "Traveling Man" is...you might get a surprise.

So named from the habit of traveling to and even becoming affiliated with other lodges.

You mean like bricklayers, I guess they would travel a lot.

No sir, try looking up Freemason's

 

[dex3361]

Oh not the brick and block laying type of masons. When you said feemasons I thought freemasons how do they make money doing it all for free. Now I know.

 

[bigtiller]

Their Mason's

That was my first guess. I had never heard of them untill I was about 25 when my father joined.

 

[Sgt Schulz]

Hello Brother checking in from Nevada.

 

[wroughtn_harv]

They're everywhere here in north Texas. You scratch a good soul that's a boomer or older and you find one. I have a lot of good friends that are and most of them have talked to me about it. But I'm an heathern and inillegible.

 

[jayste]

Oh yes! The secret and dark society of the Freemasons. Can't be recruited, you have to ask to be one. Only the "inner circle" knows all of the secrets. Great-grandad, Grandad and Dad were and are and I am not nor will I ever be.

It's like a riddle, for me, my father was a mason (bricklayer) and my mother's maiden name was Mason but I'm not a mason. Wasn't Homer Simpson a mason for an episode?
