Hello to all. My name is Dwayne Gurkins and I am 49years old. I have been seriously considering joining the Masons for a couple of years now, but did not have time. I am a truck driver and spent any time I was home with family. Now that I have a job that has me home more and able to devote time to other pursuits I thought this is the perfect juncture in my life for the Masons. I will be going to a Bring A Friend event at local lodge #515 on 2/2/13. to meet the Masons. I am exited but nervous. Every Mason I have ever met or known I have respected. One of those men was Hoyt Hilton of San Antonio TX. Hoyt was my wife's Uncle that Passed away in 99 and is still missed. He was a long time Mason that was a great family man. So I came here hoping for some insight of what to expect.
