Congratulations! It is a long journey to get there and can be a very demanding one as WM. Never fear, your journey will continue with new and different challenges.
Do I see DDGM in your future? :D
Dare I dream, GM? :eek:

Congrats. My mother-in-law (from my late wife) has been a member and held various leadership roles in OES for decades.

Congratulations on a successful journey! I look forward to the time I can wear a P.M. Ring. The compass on the P.M. ring is set at 30 degrees as opposed to 60 on the regular ring meaning rebirth. Ed B

Congrats on your year in the east. I hope you stay active on the sidelines, we all needed someone who has been there when we started our journey. I just started attending again after a few years away.

Congratulations Skeets, and it sounds like you have an active Lodge. It certainly is a Brotherhood.

Hey - the office is past, but the journey never ends ! I was raised in 1977, and have sat in every seat in the room - and a couple outside it. Congrats on sitting in the East. It's rewarding and challenging, and only the beginning.

I have to brag a bit: My great grandfather was a Mason, my grandfather was a
Mason, my father was a Mason, I'm a Mason, and this last summer I had the
great good fortune to raise my only son as a Master Mason. I'm proud, and
not apologizing for that pride.

Congratulations Skeets on your time as WM. I was raised in 2000 and was Chaplain for 1 year. Unfortunately, my work schedule didn't work with our Lodge schedule, so I have been inactive for several years.
Buffalo, Congratulations on your families history with AF&AM!! I am the third generation, but have no sons to continue the craft.
