		<description>Thanks guys!  My husband just had his first of three interviews on Saturday.  It was a very casual interview.  One brother per interview.  It was more of a "get to know you and your family".  We left the interview feeling like we were suppose to ask some type of questions.  Today is our second interview and I have done some more research online.  This is the gist of what I have found.  

The interviews are to make sure you as an applicant are lining up with your application.  But more so, that your wife is okay with the whole process.  A family and marriage is usually seen as #1 to most people (especilly women), the brothers want your wife to feel comfortable with the lodge and not be threatened by her husband withholding something from her.  They want her to trust in the lodge and know they are not out to hurt her marriage or family.  They aslo want her to know there is Easter Star for her to join.   

Knowing there really are not any "right questions" to ask will make tonights interview more relaxed.  There is so much information out on the web these days the whole process may also be about tradition.  The information is now at your fingertips, where 10 years ago it wasn't.  Just "be yourself" and let your wifes ask away.  

Here is the web site I found helpful.

		<description>I had to write and say thank you.  We started opening our Scottish Rite Reunions with "The Ring".  It has brought tears to my eyes every time I hear it.  My father, a Mason, gave me my ring.  i lost him a few years back.  Your song captures the message of why I am a Mason.  Thanks again</description>
