my hardest task to date.
Installing Officer
I have the honor of installing one of my candidates into the East next month. Working hard to get the wording down and the inflection right. But a pleasure and an honor to see the first of my candidates growing into the hatted chair.
One more month in the East for me. I've been there 28 of the last 29 months, serving my home lodge and my affiliated lodge as either pro tem or actual master. It's been quite a trip and I'd never trade it for "all the tea in China." But it's going to be good to spend my first year as a master mason sitting on the sidelines.
Now it's just a secretary's pen in the Knights of St. Andrew that keeps this ole war horse out of the north forty.
Totally enjoyed the experience. It is gratifying to be the installing officer of one of your own candidates. After two stated meeting, our new WM is doing a splendid job and knows his openings and closing well. And, thank the GAOTU, he's got a heart of gold that shines from that station in the East. It's going to be a good year!
