Eleven years ago, I decided to feed the yearning in my heart for fellowship and comradery. As my father before me, I wanted to become a Mason.  Mutual friends   introduced me to Casper Sheppard who they said had the  true spirit and heart of a Mason. I Asked him about the Craft and we began a dialog. When he was certain I was sincere, he gave me an application. We had many long, heated and meaningful discussions about the Craft but also  many other things. I enjoyed his positive outlook on life, his love of nature, and this belief in giving back.

I will miss you my brother,

Enjoy the good fishing and the pigeons in paradise.
