On my phone so not posting images, but I quickly found several photos of Bush in the governor's office and some of Perry also. It's definitely the same physical room, good bet he was gov in that photo.

If he was a mason why would that not be published? The freemasons publish who were members, looks like the last was Ford. Unless since then policies have changed and they'll no longer give that info, or if Bush wanted it kept secret. I don't know why it would be hidden though given that the Bushes openly admit membership to S&B which seems to be a more secretive and elite organization.

I'm not sure that freemasonry has the power that it used to. I've heard they're pushing to get new members because young men aren't joining much anymore.

I've never had much more than a passing curiosity in the subject though. Got some good links or resources for people to look into?
