I'm really not sure if there are any Lodges in Iraq , if Cemb4y drops in he can answer that question for you seeing how he is over there now . I know there are lodges in Germany though . No , 35 is not too old . You will see quit a few petition a lodge in their 40's and 50's because some wait till they are retired to join the Fraternity . We have Initiated men in there 60's .
