No. The only Masons (famous or not) that made any difference to me petitioning or not were my dad & granddad. My granddad was a 64 year Mason (1892 - 1979) & my dad now has 56 years behind him. Since I joined I have discovered 4 generations behind my granddad.
In my jurisdiction PMs don't have a GL vote unless they are an elected officer of or are holding a proxy for an elected officer of a subordinate Lodge.
Congratulations, it is definitely a moving experience. I was honored to be able to raise my son with my dad as GSW. It is the #1 event in my Masonic career to date. I was raised by my dad & he was raised by his dad.
Brethren, google Mt. Olive Grand Lodge AF & AM (from his introduction in Northeast Corner) and I think you will have your answer.

Also Bro Hodapp has something to say about this GL on his blog.
