Mason milestone
AUBURN - The Free Masons can trace their roots as far back as the building of the great cathedrals of Europe, with beginnings in the masonry guilds of Europe; the order was built on brotherhood.
It was this ideal that was celebrated at Auburn Lodge No. 124 Thursday night when Neal Bidnick, Grand Master of Masons in the state, made the trip to Auburn from New York City to be present for the 70th anniversary of Auburn's Fred Atkins' membership in the order.
“I try to visit as many of our brothers as I can,” Bidnick said. “Masonry started with the building of the cathedrals of Europe. The idea was that if a member of the guild couldn't work or was injured, the other members would be there to take care of him and his family.
