Honoring Tradition and Service: A Masonic Voyage with Alan Cox

On The Level Podcast

Join the ranks of the curious as we sit down with Alan Cox, an esteemed past district deputy grandmaster and a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, to celebrate the storied traditions of Freemasonry and its salute to our nation's servicemen and women. Feel the reverence as Alan recounts the solemn honor of accompanying the Grandmaster to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and sense the excitement that buzzes in the air with the upcoming installation of Potomac Lodge number five. Our conversation ventures into personal territory, with Alan reflecting on his own Masonic path and military service, giving us a glimpse into the fraternity's deep-seated camaraderie. And for a bit of levity, we share a laugh over a comedic mix-up between military branches that even our Masonic brethren sometimes can't escape.
Venture further into the heart of Freemasonry as we discuss the demanding and rewarding roles within the Masonic District, from Fred Packwood’s unexpected journey in an international apprentice competition to the art of guiding fellow members. Reminisce with us about the captivating moments that unfold following Grand Master Official Visits, where cigars and profound conversations create an atmosphere unlike any other. Our guest Alan shares his 12-year Masonic adventure, declaring it the wisest choice of his life, and leaves us with a cliffhanger about the time actor Richard Dreyfuss was raised—a story we promise to reveal in upcoming episodes. This is a gathering of Masonic wisdom and heartfelt tales you won't want to miss.
