My father was a 32 degree Mason who joined the fraternity in Massena New York. Hid father was also a Mason of high degree although I am not certain what degree.
As for my father,his occupation was mechanical engineer and his work made the ALCOA corporation which is known to be a Mason controlled organization millions of dollars.
He retired early due to bad health and moved to Linden, Texas, where he found a different lodge than the one he joined, one which he did not care to participate it for whatever reason. Though he did associate with some of the members , none of them treated him squarely to my knowledge or respected his degree. When he died there were dozens of Masons that came to his funeral as is their custom to confirm his death, some from very far away.
As his son , a man who refrained from joining the fraternity simply because the nature of it's existence could not be explained to me in advance of my commitment, it seems to me I have been persecuted by these local Masons, who have placed stumbling blocks before me intentionally retarding my social and economic advancement though I am an intelligent, compassionate and moral man who has truly sacrificed my time, my effort and my material possessions for the betterment of the disadvantaged. At no time have I endeavored to harm another except in self defense and my dealings have always been square and just.

The question i have for you is why have these local masons persecuted me while empowering my enemies against me and spread disinformation intended to destroy my credibility , my social life , and my life in general, and why have they not assisted my aged mother who was instated into the order of the Eastern Star?
If the brotherhood of Masons is what it claims, it seems to me something should be done to honor my fathers achievements and contributions to the Masonic cause than to allow his widow to die in poverty while his only surviving son is persecuted by men and women of very low moral values and boundaries, men and women who are known to have persecuted the innocent and protected the guilty?
