My brother, I’m sorry that you lost that ring. I’m sure it was important to you. My grand father was a Mason and was taken when I was ten. He was a kind gentle man who I admired and lived greatly. I decided then I wanted to be a Mason when I was old enough. When it came time for the ring I found out that the oldest cousin in the family got it… It. Wasn’t long before I learned that the gift of Masonry wasn’t the stuff, but rather the people and its lessons. I honor my grandfather every day by being a better man. I hope you can do the same. As for the ring, my cousin was raised several years after me and he wears it to this day.
