Do you boast about the number of famous and/or influential people that are/were members of the Craft, to the outside world?
Do you think it's important or even necessary to acknowledge that there are 'famous' Freemasons?
I'm curious because when I ask a guy what he knows about Freemasonry (and I always ask), a portion of the response is often, 'I know a lot of presidents are Freemasons". Others mention the Founding Fathers as well as famous people, John Wayne, Buzz etc.
I know it makes for 'fun facts' and advertising, especially to aspiring members, but do you think it helps a man decide that he wants to join?
Did having these illustrious people help you make your decision to join?
