Inscription in Masonic Bible from Brother Milton Harrell

Thanks Brother Milton for inviting me to Kempsville Lodge, the Shrine and the Hillbillie Unit. It all changed my life forever and brought me an abundance of friends and Brothers I could never have dreamed of. Through this Masonic fraternity, I have found the true meaning of fellowship and Brotherhood. Thank you again and may God bless.

Sincerely,
Your friend and Brother.
