Episode 70. Masonry is a Way of Life (ft. John L. Cook, Jr.)

In this episode, Reed sits down with John L. Cook, Jr., Past Grand Master (2010). John recounts several life-changing experiences: growing up in Georgia, serving in Vietnam, graduating from Cornell University, and finding true purpose in life through the power of brotherhood. Together, they explore John’s many talents: competitive bass fishing, the MLK Tennis Club, passion for gun & coin collecting, and more. ”The one thing I see in young Masons today is the fact that they love it. They want to be Masons. But their shortcoming is coming into the lodge, doing the work, and when they go out that door, they forget that they are Masons. We as their leaders are not doing enough to get them down that road of saying, ‘Masonry is a way of life.’ “
