life changing experience, and I urge any man considering Freemasonry to give a
look at the Indiana Freemason Online Page at http://www.indianafreemasons.com/
, or contact me for information if I can be of assistance. I believe that it is
an endeavor worthy of your time and effort should you decide that Freemasonry
interests you.
