2004 Greg McGinnis: Greg, a member for nine years, continues
to be a stalwart and dedicated worker, both in the Knights
of Columbus and in the Holy Ghost parish. He is also serving
our council as Deputy Grand Knight, and did an excellent job
in leading the business meeting during my absence in August.
In addition to overseeing each Holy Ghost Breakfast, he
helps Father Mankel with any special projects that may
arise. Greg has on several occasions, including most
recently in November, coordinated cleanup and repair efforts
at the former Convent across Hinton Avenue from Holy Ghost
Church. Thanks for all you have done and continue to do,
Greg! October
2004 Malcolm Wells, Sr.:Malcolm has been the most active
recruiter of new members for our council for some time now.
He can also be counted on to participate in just about every
activity that the council puts on. Malcolm is a key worker
at the IC Breakfasts, and had been maintaining the new
carpet in the IC Basement, before departing for a six month
vacation to the Philippines. He proudly wears his K of C
nametag to Mass at IC, and also provided tremendous

from the home located on the site of the future Catholic
Church in Halls. Thanks, Bert! August
2004 Robert "Bob" Tate: Though only a member of the Knights of
Columbus since June 2004, Bob helped plan and worked hard at
the dinner that our Council hosted at John XXIII at the
request of Father Eric Andrews. We had a great turnout of
workers and made a nice impression on the Catholic students
at the University of Tennesee thanks to Bob. He has also
agreed to be our Council's Family Director and Squires
Director. In addition to all of that, Bob has promised to
bring in two to four more Knights this year. Thanks, Bob,
for doing so much in your first month! Keep it up, for the
good of the Order. July 2004 John Swindeman: I could not have accomplished any of the
work that has been done for our Council during these past
two months if it were not for the support and assistance of
our Worthy Financial Secretary, John Swindeman. As anyone
who attends our meetings knows, John is on top of all
Council business, submits all of the required forms in a
timely fashion, and provides any information requested of
him as soon as possible. Many of you are aware that John is
also the promoter and planner of the upcoming Blue Mass.
Thanks, John, for all that you have done for me, our
Council, and the Order. June
