My wife told me that due to some circumstances going on with the Line Officers during this year that she had been asked to SKIP a station at the next election / installation. Currently she is our Chapter's Associate Conductress, she will be moving (if elected) directly into the West as Associate Matron. She said that she would not accept the move unless it was ok with me, and did not cause any confrontations with my current Lodge and YR duties. Of course I said YES.
This move will keep me from being Worshipful Master and Worthy Patron during the same year, so it helps a lot. However, for me moving from the sideline and occasional pro-tem directly into the West with her. I had simply assumed that I still had one more year to prepare....
My Schedule (as of now):
Worthy Matron (OES) & High Priest (YR) ~ 2012
Worshipful Master & Thrice Illustrious Master (YR) ~ 2013
