WKING – Just four years ago, Jordan Roddy was raised and began his journey as a Master Mason at King #722. A year later, things got re- ally interesting – and he got to raise his father, Kenneth "Trent" Roddy. Since then, they have been heavily involved in the lodge and Masonry, most recently, attending Wilkerson College to- gether. They both graduated May 4 and were recognized as the first father/son duo to at- tend the college together. Jordan says raising his dad was an honor. "He has raised me for 28 years. It was a great experience to be able to return the favor." Trent responds, "It was an indescribably proud moment for the both of us. Proud and joyful."
