No. You didn’t answer. When did you last attend any lodge?
It is my understanding you haven’t traveled internationally for some time.
I work as a civilian contractor for the US Department of Defense. I spent 10(ten)+ years in Iraq/Afghanistan/Kuwait, on various military projects. My work requires frequent travel, both in the continental USA and internationally. Most of my work is unclassified, but I am not at liberty to broadcast all of my travel. I last attended my mother lodge in KY, in October 2010, when my father passed. (Sadly, my mother chose not to permit a Masonic funeral).
Since 2010, I have attended many lodges in the USA, and abroad. I have attended Yuma lodge #17, in Yuma, Arizona (2011), and Huntsville lodge #1 in Huntsville, Alabama (2013), and many other lodges. If you are all that interested, I can send you a photocopy of my Masonic passport, listing every lodge attendance I have made in the past decade.
I am at a loss, to understand why anyone would be interested in the time, location, and frequency of my lodge attendance. I am just as much of a Mason, as if I lived next door to my mother lodge, and attended every meeting.
It so happens, that I have had serious medical issues, and I had to be hospitalized during most of 2015. While hospitalized, I was unable to attend lodge. The local lodge in Perryville MD, was very kind, and brought me candy and laundry soap, etc. When I was discharged from the hospital, I returned home to Alexandria VA, and I have attended lodges in the DC/MD/VA area since then, as well as other lodges in the USA.
I am NOT interested in telling anyone how to run their lodge. I am very interested in discussing how masons can work together in improving the craft, and making the craft more relevant to 21st century men.
Do not assume that my last lodge attendance was in 2010.
