If you could talk to one Famous Freemason , past or present , who would it be ?

Mine would be Samual Clemens aka Mark Twain . I love his humorous tales and I find him fascinating .

Benjamin Franklin.

I am from Philadelphia and I love science, literature and the arts. So we would have plenty to talk about over a pint and a Cheese stake!

Major General LeJeune, USMC, being a former jar head, and being stationed at camp Lejeune for a time, I would love to hear his sea stories.

ASH, I had the honor of meeting Gunny Hathcock in 78 on the range at Camp Geiger. He was getting real frail then, but man he was larger then life.

Brother , you are one lucky Jarhead ! He is the Patron Saint of Marine riflemen ! When "Marine Sniper:93 Confirmed Kills" came out in '86 , it became mandentory reading for us all . I still have my copy that I carried all over the world with me .

This is a tough one. If you believe that King Solomon was a Mason, it would be him right off the bat. However, most don't seem to think he was.

So that leaves me with two people off the top of my head. One would be George Washington. The second would be Ben Franklin.
