I went to a boys school in PA called Patton Masonic School (which was originally called Thomas Ranken Patton Masonic Institute for Boys), across the road from the Masonic Homes which later became known as The Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA. I went from 1967 till I graduated in 1971 (June 6th). I enlisted in the Air Force on the 25th, but that’s another story.
It’s funny that the heated, underground halls I ran down, played pool and marveled at the old occupants who had given up their worldly possessions to be there – I could be joining them! I figured I was a shoe in since I was an alumni.
Not sure why but it took almost 2 years to get the application in the mail in August, 2011. I never got to see it but I was told “we’re not sending you there!” I never found out the why.
