Hello from Ohio
Just happened across this site; wanted to say hi. Currently a member of Belpre #609 here in Belpre, OH--in fact, my raising was March 25th
Only member of my family to be a Mason, so I may end up with questions that seem kinda simple at times Jim |

Greetings and salutations Jim. Do not worry, I'm the only Mason to my knowledge in my family. We all have to start off somewhere and the people here are great at helping. I have learned a lot from the great group of people here.

Welcome to Freemasonry, and welcome to the board. Masonry is a huge topic, and there is much for a new Mason to learn. There are two books, that will make an excellent beginning for you:
"The complete idiot's guide to Freemasonry" by Hodapp and "Freemasonry for Dummies" Both of these are available from amazon.com Have you decided if you wish to pursue any of the appendant bodies? I am a Scottish Rite Mason, and I enjoy the organization very much.

Something in common..
I just happened across this site as well today, hoping to create some dialog with fellow Masons. I thought I was the only Mason in my family too... until I visited the grave site of my father's uncle, and my father's brother, last year. Both have the "square and compass" on their headstone. I immediately felt a stronger bond to them at that moment, even though I only knew them when I was a child. It was an interesting feeling.
My blue lodge is Devine (TX) 590. I'm also in Cooper Chapter and Council. Nice to meet everyone! |
