Recently I've been called to task via emails for being "negative" about Freemasonry here on the Burning Taper lately. There hasn't been a lot of good Masonic news that I've been made aware of, so instead I've written about corruption and questionable practices in Shrine Clubs and the United Grand Lodge of England, and about the ongoing racism in the U.S. southern Grand Lodges. There hasn't been much news lately from the nearly year-old United Grand Lodge of America, and I'm not about to post announcements for upcoming chicken dinners and widow's breakfasts at local blue lodges.But, perhaps, it's time for a warm fuzzy article. I found just the one.
Bro. Sidney Perrin turned 101 years young on Nov. 5. He was born in Chatham, Kent, England. He had a long career working in the oil industry in Europe and Iran.
In 1976, he retired and moved to Boston,
His wife died in 1986, but Bro. Perrin still leads an active and independent life.
Bro. Perrin was raised a Mason in 1928, and has been a Mason longer than anyone now living.
"I've enjoyed life greatly and have thousands of friends to call on should I ever need a hand," Bro Perrin recently said.
He claims the secret to long living is not to worry and to just enjoy life.
Happy Birthday, Bro. Perrin!
