Truely remarkable; a moment in time that cannot be duplicated. A matter of hours define a lifetime. Thanks to my brothers at Goldsboro Lodge #112, and thanks to Bob Franks for the education. I am honored by all of you. Woot! Let the work begin
Bro. Aaron, you give me more credit than I deserve. I finally realized after more than 25 years, I wasn't any good at floor work (as Senior Deacon, I got 'lost' conducting a candidate once), so I was forced to learn the Lectures! S&F
Interesting, ?? the senior deacon guides the candidate in NC? In PA we use another individual (typically a Past Master) to guide all new candidates.
Brother Bob , You got Lost !? Where did you end up , the parking lot ? Just kidding , we have all made mistakes .
In Wisconsin the position is called SD, however it is typically manned by our latest PM, as he has the best presentation skills.
Very Interesting. While reading the book by William Morgan, I noticed in his writing that occurs, but never really questioned it, as I am not a real big fan of putting the works into words. Just goes to show how far things have "evolved" jurisdiction to jurisdiction; state to state; GL to GL........ Here I thought Masonry never changed
I read your post and pictured the SD conducting the candidate down stairs into the parking lot and started laughing . I sometimes find MYSELF very amusing .
SD in MN, but very frequently not the lodge's actual SD. We often swap chairs. Some guys enjoy floor work during degrees, other's don't.
Oh , we will swap out also for various reasons . A member may know the candidate or excels at a certain lecture/degree .
You know Bro. Bob , I am going to be thinking about this for a while now . I will soon be helping out at a lodge in my district by acting as SD for a FC degree and this is going to keep popping in my head . I can see it now , I will be in the middle of the Middle Chamber lecture and start laughing thinking about wandering around lost with the candidate . I know this is not what you meant by "getting lost" , but I have a wild imagination .
Not the SD for my EA, but it was the SD for my FC. Not sure if that was on purpose, or just the way things turned out. Probably the second.
