I'm a bit curious as to what relevance the Masonic Lodge bit carries
to the rest of the post. Strange how things change - my father was a
Provincial Grand Master, WM of several lodges and Lord knows what with
Mark Master Masons. He never found it necessary to mention any of it
during everyday conversation at home or socially, nor for that matter
did any of his masonic colleagues. Funnily enough, friends of mine
who are masons never refer to it 'as a matter of course' either.
