So mote it be

Emjaysmash · 06-29-2009, 04:33 PM

Hey all

Just would like to share with you that yesterday I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason! For those of you unfamiliar with the Free and Accepted Masons, reaching this degree is a milestone in both the fraternity and my life. I just thought I would like to share it with you, my friends and Brothers.

Fraternally,

Michael J. Vineburg

Congrats, MJ. We'll have to discuss this when we herf next week. Father-in-law was a Mason and I would like to have a better understanding of what that entailed.
