Recently, at Wendover Lodge No. 9616, Bro. Jesse took the big chair to initiate his two sons. Bro's Albert and John are 2nd generation Freemasons and therefore referred to as Lewises. The head of the lodge, Bro. Jordan, was delighted to see them receive the Gift of Freemasonry and said, "This is a fitting end to the year for our lodge. We cannot wait to see what 2024 will bring."
We wholeheartedly agree with you, Jordan. Freemasonry is the gift that keeps on giving.
