I am proud to say that I have Dyslexia and that it is because of the Freemasonry and its apendent bodies that I can cope with it.

Just that one summer spent at the Scottish Rite Hospital brought me up to the level where I needed to be and then some. It is because of this that I joined and give back to the fraternity when I can.
