Wow. 8 days? And already joining the YR? Just a suggestion that you might wanna slow downnand learn the lessons of the first 3 b4 you advance any further
Not just the degrees brother but the lessons in them. Just rememebr that you are a Blue Lodge Mason FIRST
After joining I was advised to wait 6 months before joining an appendant body to let the lessons of the three degrees sink in a bit. I took the advise and am glad I did. This allowed me to better understand the meanings of the York Rite and Scottish Rite degrees.

It has actually been about that long; I was raised to MM in July, and will get the York Rite degrees in a month or two.

Although I'm not a Lewis, I am the third Mason in my family. One of my uncles, and his father-in-law, were Masons.

Does this make me a third-generation Freemason? I wonder.

I did not know my uncle was a Mason until I told him I wanted to petition a lodge. It was then that he told me he had served as Worshipful Master of a lodge in New Delhi.

Were I to have a son someday, I'd like for him to join, but the call would be his.
Initiating him would make for my finest hour.

Brother I attended a 1st degree where a father was initiating his son, the look on his face was priceless. So brother, it will truly be a moment to remember :)

Corinth?? I'm from Muscle Shoals/Tuscumbia/Florence in Alabama right next to the border there. I have family that live in Cherokee, AL.
Corinth, Kentucky. Near Florence, Kentucky. But I can't tell if we're talking about the same place. I don't know what the early settlers had against original names...
