2004 Jack McCusker Family: Jack, our council's Chancellor,
recently made his Fourth Degree along with his son, Michael.
Michael, a former member of our council, is being considered
for a US Attorney position in Memphis. Jack and his wife
helped me to set up for and cleanup after the Thanksgiving
social that our council held in November. In addition, Jack
has led the Pancake breakfast team at IC during Doc and Wes'
absence. We appreciate Jack stepping up to the plate during
a time that the council needed him! October
2004 Bob & Margaret Hunt and Kids: Bob works at Children's
Hospital, teaches Sunday School for adults at St. Joseph
School, and recently finished teaching an 8 week class on
the Old Testament. In his spare time he helps raise and
home-school his two children, Bernadette and Genevieve, with
his wife Margaret. They are expecting their third child,
Felicity Grace, on January 11, 2005. Bob successfully
planned our council's Rosary for Life in October, and he and
Margaret worked diligently at the Fourth Degree Dinner that
we hosted in October. Keep up the good work! September
2004 Dale & Kim Neighbor and Kids: Dale is a relatively
new member of the Knights, and recently made his second
degree. He, his wife Kim, and their two children Rebecca and
Andrew, were instrumental in helping set up for, and clean

Children's Choir, which can be heard at the upcoming Feast

2004 The Corteses graciously opened up their home for all of
us to have a wonderful social in August. We had
approximately forty people attend the party/picnic,
including our District Deputy, Jim Bruun, and our State
Secretary and his wife, Bill and Janet Wicke. Jim, Carole,
and their children provided a great time for us, prepared
the food, let the kids play on their boat, and even let some
of us use the waverunner. Jim is also a Webelos den leader
at Saint Joseph School and active in his church and
community. Thanks to all of you for your continued support
and participation in the Knights. July
2004 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. June
