DEO = District Education Officer?As of right now just one, but as I have the suicide wish to become and DEO and DDGM one day I'm planning on learning them all and as much else as I can.
Yes, Bro. Bob you are correct. I believe it's a bit like the stepping stone to DDGM. I love travelling and seeing the floor work and I want education to be a forefront of Masonry. What better way to see that the values are being instilled than to be the one watching it all.DEO = District Education Officer?
We don't have that office in the GLAF&AMofNC.
I am District Deputy Grand Lecturer, and responsible for the Ritual and Masonic education of the 8 Lodges of my district.
I wasn't really very good at floor work, but finally found that learning the lectures was satisfying and not that difficult (though time consuming!). I find it much better that I stand in one place and talk.

Run through it at least daily, but it will still be different actually delivering it.I will be giving the EA lecture this Monday night for the first time.
I knew the lecture before Degree practice, but stumble on practice. Though, the questions were fumbled worse than my answers which really threw me off. I will be practicing out loud all weekend
Thanks, my cipher book is destroyed cuz I have it at work(I'm a automotive Diagnotic Technician) It's all greasy...lol. Every chance I have I'm reading it covering the part I'm reciting.
The first time I conferred the EA Degree, the PM who was mentoring me walked me through the Ob. as if he were the candidate. He made a LOT of errors in repeating after me, which threw me off...which was his point. He suggested I repeat the Ob. 10 times every day until the day of the degree. It helped!

That may work for some , but not for all . If I work at something EVERY day then it turns into a jumbled mess in my head . I work on a lecture for a couple of days ,sit it down and forget about it for two or three days and then pick it up again and am amazed at how much better it sticks in my mind .
