USA, Perseverance Lodge No. 9 in Toronto, Canada. Alexander was born in Diamonds Village, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He immigrated to Canada in his early teens. He studies various philosophies and is a retired aircraft maintenance engineer (AME). After joining the Order in 1990, his search for light or truth within the Order of Mechanics began through the degrees, and within its lore (or teaching) he soon discovered that there were many moral, philosophical, and spiritual truths within the lore of Mechanism, and even the mention of the seven liberal arts and sciences. He pointed out that every initiated mechanic should know what the liberal arts and sciences are, and that if an individual studies them, they will lead to greater awareness of the world in which we live. Mechanics lore taught him to more deeply love all human beings, as well as how to be more kind, just, truthful, and upright in all areas of life. Alexander’s wish is that all good men everywhere should seek membership into the Order of Mechanics, for within its lore lie ways for human development in thoughts, words, and deeds, as well as in morality and spirituality. On another occasion Alexander said “Like the working of a great machine mechanism speaks to a candidate intuition as well as his intellect and invite him to contemplate, to question, to marvel. The six degrees of mechanism lead him beyond the scope of language using symbols and imagery to archive deeper understanding of the fraternity lessons, for many brothers it is this imagery displayed into the art of mechanics education that unlock the true meaning of the craft.”view less
