Famous Masons |
|
Webmasters Note: The following
is a short list of Masons who have gained notoriety during or after their
lifetime. There is no pretense with the following being anywhere near
exhaustive. One publication has listed over 10,000 "Famous Masons." The
purpose of this list is to briefly point out to those willing to observe,
Masonry is a fraternal organization composed of main stream people from
all walks of life; scientists, artists, comedians, musicians, presidents,
clergy, inventors, generals, actors and even those who work in outer
space.
While looking at these names, may I request of you to be mindful of the
difference between being famous and being great? Masonry isn't about one
Mason trying to be better than another Mason. Nor is Masonry about Masons
trying to be better than non-masons. The image above conveys the point.
