CommentsI greet you Brethren.
The Mission of Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like minded men in a worldwide brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth: and, by the outward expression of these, through its fellowship, its compassion and its concern, to find ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbors and self.

CommentsGentlemen

By now you'l realize that I am not a mason; that said I understand that my father and a number of his brothers were members of the Mother Lodge OO Kilwinning. He died in 1942 aged 49.

Living in Australia and having had the sadness of seeing him dying at my feet when I was six I feel somewhat orphanic.

That said I may be in the Maybole or Tarbolton area in March next year.

I understand this was the area from which the family came as cattle dealers. Some went to Venezuela, some Canada some New Zealand.
My father worked as a marine engineer as a marine engineer with Babcock and Wilcox and then at Dubs ( North British Locomtotive Company) during the war when they were making tanks. For a few years I was at Hutchie before going to Melbourne.

Would you consider that it would be appropriate for me to review any records which might relate to our families links with your organization for no other reason than reassurance about the values which have sustained us as a family.

We may be in Portpatrick for a day or two.

Perhaps we may meet.

Thank you.
