I am also pleased to come across this excellent public insight into FM. There is one point I would make: Bro Boxer kept the "trouser leg bit" under wraps when asked, making it sound like "one of our secrets" Perhaps he could have given a brief, vague mention of its significance, thus improving the notions many of the public think of as a "silly procedure".

The Preparation was explained on TV many years ago, but I have often come across people who think we all spend the whole evening with a bare leg. Just a little thing that could be further explained.

Full marks though for the other 99% !

I fully agree that is a very positive piece of journalism to be welcome. But I also concur with Bro Roy V that some issues could have been better explained: the Preparation was one, the Nazi persecution of FM another. Obviously none of that is Bro Boxer's fault, he couldn't have anticipated all the questions that would be put to him. In any case, an excellent contribution!

Soren

I would have think that he fully explained for each. As in most cases they (the TV studio) used most of the day shooting on location. What the TV studio did was to crop/edit what they needed to fit the time slot. The person doing the cropping/editing was not a mason.

Good quality I did expand it to full screen and found no pixulation. I going to forward it to the two forums here both on Yahoo that being my lodge's forum and Mich-Masons. I liked what I saw of the lodge room, very good looking. Tom Cherup 32° Olive Branch Lodge #542 Dearborn, Michigan Scottish Rite - Valley of Detroit Detroit Masonic Temple - It''s bigger than yours!
