A teacher before a title
Knowledge becomes wisdom when it is put to work.
Right Worshipful Freddie Hurt, 33°, has built his Masonic journey through lodge leadership, district service, and a sustained commitment to instruction.
His record reaches from Selma, Alabama, to Leavenworth and Junction City, Kansas. Along the way he has served in the East, supported schools of instruction, coordinated Grand Lodge work, and prepared brothers to better understand the meaning behind the ritual.
This profile reflects two traditions of brotherhood and service: his membership in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and his continuing labor as a 33° Prince Hall Mason.
“Knowledge is knowing things. Wisdom is knowing how to apply the knowledge that you know.”
