Here is a pretty good brief lecture on the history and impact of Freemasonry in America by Brother Lee Sherman Dreyfus, 33rd, former Governor of Wisconsin and Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

I'm a seminary grad, ordained minister, and recovering Christian fundamentalist. I recently completed the Clinical Pastoral Education Program at Alamance Regional Medical Center. I volunteer as a crisis intervention chaplain and occasionally provide pulpit supply in local churches.
I'm a politics and theology junkie. I'm an avid reader and my interests are eclectic. When something captures my attention, I latch onto it and read everything I can find. My house is filled with books and if there's a book sale nearby, you can probably find me there.
Making and Tinkering are in my blood and I've built many of the things in and around our home. I constantly take on new projects…metalwork, carpentry, brewing, robotics, gadgets, gardening, cooking, whatever...
I’m an active Freemason and member of Thomas M. Holt Lodge No. 492, Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina, Chorazin Chapter No. 13 Royal Arch Masons, Greensboro Council No. 3 Royal and Select Masters, and Ivanhoe Commandery No. 8 Knights Templar.
Reading this I thought it was pretty enlightening. I value you taking the time and effort to place this post together. Once more I find myself spending way too enough time both reading and also writing comments. But so what, it absolutely was nonetheless significant!
