Aprons Off: The Real Freemason
An insight into the life of a Freemason outside the masonic centre.
AN AMBULANCE DRIVER
Name: Gordon King
Age: 57
Location: Kings Langley
Joined: 1995
Lodges: Lodge of Concorde
Gordon drives ambulances for the ECMO Unit at St Thomas' hospital. After 30 years at the met office and as a Detective Inspector Gordon retired.
Gordon then volunteered to drive ambulances after they were desperately short in numbers during the pandemic, finally ending up at St. Thomas after moving once again. His career in the Police and during his retirement in the NHS has quite simply been about helping people who need it the most, Gordon emphasises how freemasonry resonates with this.
Gordon's favourite aspect of Freemasonry because of this is giving back. Gordon likes the ways in which freemasonry has charity at its core. Gordon enjoys the sense of satisfaction in helping people both in freemasonry and driving ambulances. He also mentions a selfless culture, where many of its members will always lend a "sympathetic ear" to those who need it most and provide what they can to help.
Freemasonry has been a part of Gordon's life for a very long time as a member of nearly 40 years, so it has helped him most of his adult life. Gordon is inspired by the selfless actions of many of the members and he always works in many ways to emulate their example.
To be better and to help others truly is one of the core principles on which masonry is founded.
