As has been the case since I have been a member of our Council, Doc Davidson and his family have been the backbone of support for most lay activities at Immaculate Conception, including pancake breakfasts, ushering during Mass, supporting Saint Joseph School, and many other unsung projects. Doc was my sponsor when I joined the Knights in 1995. Even before then, Doc and his family were always a welcoming presence at IC, which my wife and I have attended since we moved to Knoxville in 1990. Thanks, Doc, Elvyn II, Evelyn, and everybody else, for your Christian Catholicism.
