Necessary information
Yes, its true that I don't remember all 14 of the founders, *but* I know where I can find that information in the places that I spend the large majority of my time. At work I have net access to the National web page, my 75th anniversary CD and my National History book. At home I have pledge manuals from 6 or 7 different 2 year cycles and a couple of other places with the info.
I timed myself from lifting my hands from the keyboard to getting the names, it was about 8 seconds and some of that was making sure another book didn't fall off the shelf when I pulled out the History book.
Pledging for me was 18 years ago, (I'll have been a brother for half of my life this coming December 5th). Anyone who feels that I'm less of a brother for not remembering them off the top of their head is welcome to that opinion, but I don't agree with them.
