Greetings from Toledo-Fort Industry #144, in the great Buckeye State. Figure I should introduce myself. I'm Casey, age 28, a medical student at the University of Toledo. I was raised in 2007, and elevated to the Holy Royal Arch in 2009. I'm also a member of the local Council and Commandery, but Chapter and the Blue Lodge hold my heart. Masonry runs deep in my family- I can prove an unbroken line for 6 generations, either through Fort Industry #144 or Ohio City #486. I live by the level, plumb and Square, and to this day one of the shining moments of my life was receiving the Master Mason's oath from my father. I think I'll hang around a while, if a Buckeye is welcome.
I am well, Brother. Well, well enough. Lots on my head at the moment, but the second I put on the Apron it all goes away. There is much I love about this great Fraternity, and that is one of the jewels in the crown. How are you this fine evening?
I woke up above ground, so it is a good day. It is nice getting in the Lodge and forgetting about other problems for a bit, isn't it?
