One of the prerogatives of the Most Worshipful Grand Master is to make a man a "Mason on Sight", where, through abbreviated ceremonies, a man can be Raised to the degree of Master Mason without the usual ritual.  Robert W. Randall, at the tender age of 93, petitioned the Lodge for membership, but being unable to travel to the Lodge, MWGM Robert J. Stika agreed to use his powers as Grand Master to make Mr. Randall a Mason on Sight, with the members of Putnam Lodge #46 providing the ritual.
