Masons indeed!

FWIW, my late father was a Mason. It was the thing to do in the late 1940s and 50s. Interestingly, he told my brothers not to enter DeMolay or bother joining the Masons. He also wouldn't allow me and my sister to join Rainbow girls. My older brother believes our dad was just a pancake turner at fund-raisers, never got to a high degree, but maybe knew some darker stuff, hence his not getting his children involved.
