It's a real 'Let George do it,' situation. They don't want the responsibility of any office, they don't want to learn a lecture, or even any short piece, and they won't come out for degree practice!
But they want to come to the lodge and see quality degree work.

I really enjoy visiting another lodge and seeing quality degree work. But I really enjoy seeing a brother do a part of the degree for the first time, knowing how much work it takes to learn the parts. It reminds me that Masonry is progressive, and that it takes all the brethren coming together in order to pull off a degree -- even those who want to "Let George do it."

fireman, at least you have 2 weeks to learn your parts:p. Your WM obviously has confidence in you or he wouldn't have asked.

As I've gotten more involved in ritual, and now become the DDGL, some members of my lodge are indignant that I am leaving the secretary's desk after only a year. I only took it this year because last year on election night no one else would.
The same brothers become even more indignant when I ask them why they can't be secretary!

All that being said, Bob, you can't be an authentic secretary until you've held the post five years. ;)

Ah. So you know how to shake your finger and say, "That's not how we did it in MY year!"

Nope, I just shake my head and "think to myself" Damn, you didn't pay attention when I was trying to teach you. Then the WM says, well it's how I'm doing it!! j/k he doesn't realize he's doing anything wrong.
