Hi Dougly, Thank you for reading and commenting on my article about presidents who were Freemasons. Just to clarify, I didn't say that being a member of Freemasons or any other society or trade association brings honor or integrity. I'm saying that people who feel that honor and integrity are important to them frequently gravitate to Freemasonry. I recommend you read my article on "Freemasonry: The Not So Secret, Secret Society" -- which provides a bit more context on this topic, and is at the end of the article you just commented on. I also recommend my article that addresses the question of whether people can 'get rich' as Freemasons -- and here is the link -- https://medium.com/@jaykrasnow/can-you-get-rich-as-a-freemason-d30b37986fa8
