Josh Bennett had tied his bowtie perfectly. His dress shirt was neatly tucked into his slacks.And while he still shifted back and forth when he talked and nervously his right hand in and out of his pocket, the second-in-charge of Manteca’s chapter of DeMolay International spoke glowingly of an organization that he feels helped him break free of social bonds and work towards becoming a better young man. “It’s about leadership and learning more about yourself,” Bennett said.
