9/19/04 LETTER FROM A BROTHER KNIGHT: I
am Dan Brooks, PGK of Council 9317 in Cordova, TN. I just

the dinners for the CSA on the UT campus. My daughter is a
Freshman there, and she told me that the dinner was prepared
by the Knights and it was very good.. I know how busy it is
being a Knight, and many times we wonder if anyone really
notices our efforts. It is nice to know that there is a
council there and that they are active with the youth at the
College. Thanks again for your efforts. They
ARE appreciated,. Vivat Jesus Dan Brooks SEPTEMBER ANNIVERSARIES:
