My father is a mason as well, I have lived with him, learned from him, and respect him for everything he has done. We were in the local volunteer fire-department together, same church, etc... After he joined the fraternity and I learned what it was all about I elected to join. Freemasonry was often a topic of conversation, however, just as it was stated, even my father did not ask me to join. I had to ask for a petition (2b1ask1). Since that time I have proceeded through the officers line, been Worshipful Master of our lodge twice, and support the lodge and its' charities every chance I get. My brother then joined the lodge, now there are 3 masons in our family, with hopefully more on the way.
