Went through the three degrees of the Blue Lodge early in 1967, followed by York Rite then Scottish Rite, then Shriners. I later had a dual membership in two blue lodges and was very active in all five for many years before I finally realized I couldn't serve two Masters much less six. But with that said, they're great organizations and do a tremendous amount of good stuff.
You think he might have had that petition ready for a while and was just waiting on you?
As Ross Perot says I'm all ears
