Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro John L. Cooper III, PGM – CA, and was first published in September 2016. In the legends of the Craft, we find the tales of traveling stonemasons who, after finishing work on a jobsite, travel to other sites to obtain work, having to prove themselves by certain grips, words, and other tests. Here, we find some historical proofs, surviving even until today, of these forbears of our modern Craft. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
