I was offered to join a Moose Lodge as a charter member some years ago but I really couldn’t afford the time it would have required.
Another great grandfather was in the Oddfellows and my great grandmother was a Rebekah.
I don’t know what made me think of Kramden and Norton as being Mooses (Meese?) but that was a funny show.
I think it’s strange that in those European countries they refer to Moose as Elk but maybe it’s us that are strange. :-)
