You know Bill, truthfully, I was not in a hurry.  The system was set
up so as to rush us through like that.  I, however, was not part of a
quick YORK RITE system.  It was much slower.  And quite frankly, I
prefered it a bit slower.  I don't think the system sped up in
response to Masons wanting to move faster, but rather came about as a
result of The Shrine, Scottish Rite, and in some areas York Rite
wanting to move their candidates along faster in order to fill their
ranks a bit faster.  I would have been happier going through both
Scottish and York Rite much slower.  But that's just me (G).
