TUCSON, Ariz. - TelAve -- THE MASONIC FAMILY

Did you know that the Mason Lodge where John Wayne took his Mason vows is in the heart of Tucson? John was also a member of the Order of DeMolay. That Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was a Rainbow Girl here. Many of our streets, schools, and parks are named after masons, like Epes-Randolph Park, Drachman Drive, The Goldwater Foundation, and Peter Howell School. The list goes on and on. 15 Presidents were Masons, including George Washington, as were hundreds of thousands of others who have changed our country. Famous Rainbow and Job's Daughters include Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Shirley Temple, Mary Kay, and Laura Engles. They are all part of what we call the Masonic Family.
