This past Friday, 14 Aug 09, I had the GREAT pleasure of initiating my 18 year old son. It was the first degree that I ever put on, and it was TOTALLY AWESOME! Other than a couple of bobbles I made it through without my CRS striking (CRS=Can't Remember ####) too bad. And at the end, I almost had him in tears (and it was all I could do to stop my self from laughing), but I got him through it, and he sure was relieved when I stepped down to the secretary's desk, grabbed his hand, and said "Congratulations Little Brother!" That's been a joke between us for years, I'm barely 5'10" and my son stands 6'7 (or there about).
He had an awesome degree team, everybody on his team was someone that he's known personally for the past 3-4 years to all of his life (some he even respects ). Afterwords he told me how much it meant to him to be able to recognize every voice that he heard and know that he "was in the hands . . . "!
And, this week, I've been teaching him his work. He's doing SUCH a good job, that tomorrow evening, after another EA degree, I'm going to have him turn in Part I.
We've spent some time this week traveling, so he's seen 4 other degrees, and on the 29th, we're driving to Alexandria, La, for the meeting of Tranquility Lodge #2000 (the master is a good friend of mine).
I believe he's just what the doctor ordered in our lodge, a young mind that wants to learn the work!
