Tonight was a busy night around the state for the York Rite in general. we have several major events including some inspections and of course the viewing for Past Grand Commander Bruce Basil. I had already planned to attend the Inspection at Lima in the 2nd District so that is where I went tonight. (I was going to try to make it up to Findlay for the viewing before the Inspection but couldn't leave work in time.) They dud the Mark Master degree this evening and since the person supposed to do the Lecture was the Grand Commander Dennis Hughes and he was at the viewing and Masonic Services (as he needed to be) the District Deputy Grand High Priest REC Jack Hollman filled in and did a nice job on the Lecture. I also learned that they have set up their inspections in the 2nd District so the candidate this evening will be a Royal Arch Mason by the end of the month since he is going to the next 3 Inspections (where he will be joined by several other Mark Masters who will also be following to complete their journey) which are in the Past Mast, Most Excellent Master and Royal Arch Degree. This process seems to be working well in some of the smaller Districts which all are working together to do each of the degrees and an interesting positive camaraderie is developing among these candidates in the Districts trying this approach.
