My husband's uncle is a 3rd degree mason...or something like that and my husband has an interest in different groups such as the mason's and knows quite ALOT about these things...I know that they have many secrets...some that they are NEVER to tell, (of course I won't go into further detail and i have to DISAGREE with Lian...) ...I am sure that he will be taken very well care of as they are like a family of sorts and take care of their own. I wouldn't worry to much about it unless of course you have heard differently. Have you asked for references and checked them out?
