DescriptionA group of men from the Free Masons, sit on concrete steps outside the Masonic Lodge in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There are three rows of stacked and clustered middle-aged men with a single man sitting on the middle of the fourth lowest row. He wears a special double-breasted suit with satin buttons, large shoulder buckles, and a cape-like skirted bottom. There are large and round metallic buttons on the wrists and large pins on the left side of the chest. The top pin is a cross, then a cluster of three triangles, and a square four-point cross-like pin on the bottom. Each branch of the cross is inverted, with an arrow-like tip. All the other men wear different colored suits and wear the same square cross-like pin with inverted arrow-like tips and an emblem at the center. Each are attached to ribbons, attached to the left side of their suit jackets. All have short hair slicked back. Frank Limbaugh, owner of F. M. Limbaugh Engineering and Limbaugh Aerial Surveys, Inc., is third from the right on the second from the bottom row.On View
