From NASA to the Lodge: The Founding of Clear Lake Freemasons

Michael Bland sits down with Tom Tucker, an original charter member of Clear Lake Lodge No. 1417, to recount the lodge’s founding, building its hall, and memorable ties to astronauts and DeMolay. They discuss community outreach, challenges to Masonry’s growth, ideas for district-wide service projects, and preserving lodge history and legacy. Tucker also shares his chaplaincy work in the regional hospital, his book The Conduit, and reflections on faith, family, and Freemasonry’s future.
