I agree we have had 2 WM in the last few years who became Master for their first time in their eighties
To late is a state of mind, I know a Brother who had been a warden years ago and got diagnosed with cancer and asked if his Lodge would allow him to be WM since he did not have much time left of course the lodge granted his request and he has been kicking cancers a$$ ever since. 70's are the 50's anyway when you are 95 you will wished you did it.

That is awesome!
I have had the honour to have sat in the Chair of King Solomon 3 times and I hope there will be several more times before the Great Architect calls me from "Labour to Refreshment".

I'll be in the East in 6 years. At our Lodge, Junior and Senior Stewards are also chair, so you have J.S. S.S. J.D. S.D. J.W. S.W. W.M. When I serve as my Lodge's Worshipful Mirror, I'll be 25.

Yes, 1986-1987 Melrose 1294
The issue I run into is that my personal drive woud be to be the best at whatever chair I sit in, the recent troop announcements and obligations to my country seem to take up too much time for me to right now be effective as a WM.
I really would like to be one, but I couldn't even hold a chair this year because of my deployment, I have no idea what next year will hold.

Assuming I continue to be elected, I'll be there in two years... will be 29 when I take my seat in the East, 30 at the end of the term.

I'm gonna be OLD when it happens in about 3 years, I'll be 60-61...
An update... I made it in 3 years... I came in as a MM in 2008, and was SD. In 2009, I was JW, and in 2010-2011 I am WM.... I have studied hard, to try to learn all I can. I have worked hard to make sure I understand, and use all I have learned, and had figured I'd have another year to have the work in the East ready... Our SW has had a lot of medical problems, and his memory though intact, is disorganized at times, and he thought it best to step aside. I was asked if I would consider the East at this time, and I said I would with the assistance of all in the Lodge. Well, as long as I have been a member of this Lodge, I have had excellent help and assistance in everything I have done, and though I have only opened and closed two MM Lodges, I have been supported greatly. I think it will be a GREAT year, but this will be done by my Brothers, with MY assistance.... Oh, and I guess I will have a Rocker after all, and I'll be 59.

I'm currently Junior Warden and 31. If tradition holds, I'll be WM in 2012-2013 at age 33. That has some significant meaning to me.

If tradition and the line holds, I'll be WM for the same year as Bro. Ashton, just slightly more seasoned in age.
