How good and how pleasant it is...

Six years ago, I was hired by a good man to work at the Documentation and Training Manager for a network security company. He was a good boss, an honorable man, straightforward and trustworthy. At the time, I had not yet joined the fraternity, though I was five months away from it when he hired me.

Unfortunately, I only worked for him for five months. He took his new family, his wife and new born son, and took a new job in the mid west. Several months later, I was laid off in the dot com bubble burst, and I lost track of him.

The other day, we ran into each other through Plaxo, a web based personal connection tool. As we reconnected, I mentioned that I had joined Freemasonry. Well, he writes back that he is Senior Deacon of his lodge! He has also recently joined the craft, and is pursuing not only freemasonry, but membership in a Traditional Observance Lodge, esoteric masonry, and philosophical studies.

Its a small world, and good to reconnect to a former boss who is now a brother.

May the blessing of heaven rest upon us and all regular masons. May brotherly love prevail, and every moral and social virtue, cement us.
