Family objections to wearing your kilt

[Brother Falldown]

The condition of getting along with family, I forget the wording, but I have no doubt she would do all in her power to keep that from happening. My dad was a Mason, and she doesn't like me doing anything that he did.

Your defference to your mother may or may not be admirable. Regardless, after three decades in the fraternity, and some time in the "East" I am not aware of anything that would preclude you from petitioning for the degrees. There are some landmarks that have to be adhered to, but your family's approval isn't one of them. And I just realised how VERY FAR off topic I have drifted. My apologies.
