It's not that I had to do it, I just think that if I can sit, learn the questions and answers, give the work in Lodge, and teach others, it really can't be that hard. I will be 58 in a few months, and was raised just over a year ago. My memory may be better than others, but when you consider my head injury, the PTSD, and age, I really can't find anything else that would make it too hard to get through. My Instructor was pleased in my asking questions on the work for the meanings, or my being able to recognize these meanings as we worked. Yep, I'm really patting myself on the back, but I really don't think it was all that hard to learn and turn in the work. It was a LONG way off in those first sections, but after that was done, it wasn't that bad. I am still excited about Masonry, and want to learn and do more. I will as it, and time comes to me. Had I known what I know now, I would have done all of this some 25 years or more ago. Oh, but those obligations can be a stumper at times still...
