IN LOS FELIZ, across from a 7-Eleven on North Vermont Avenue, a few dozen men in their early 20s to late 80s share a dinner behind closed doors. Some wear full tuxedos with bow ties and jeweled cuff links, some have shoulder-length hair, and others wear open-collared shirts that reveal the slightest filigree of tattoo arching across their chests.

Great article . We went 2 years with only taking in 3 or 4 petitions , now we can't keep up with all the petitions coming in . And the great thing is that they are all, for the most part , in their 20's .

Has your lodge done anything different lately? We have 94 on the rolls with 12 active in a small community, but I would still like to see an occational petition now and then...

Not really . We are getting a lot of 20 somethings coming in now . A few of them have told me are looking for something they can't find out in the world . They wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves and can associate with men of a higher standard , and something not just every Tom , Dick or Harry can get into . But have found it in Freemasonry . I hope this trend keeps going , we are getting some outstanding young men .
