Installed as our ninth Grand Knight. During his term we experienced many joys and some sorrows. During the early fall the World Series was interrupted by the second largest earthquake to hit San Francisco. The U. S. liberated Panama and arrested its dictator General Noreiga. The U. S. Supreme Court in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services ruled that states have the authority to place certain limits on abortions. Back home our council joined other parishioners to celebrate groundbreaking for the Parish Center. To support this effort, the council Pledged $10.000 to the Parish. The council started three new Programs: Opening ceremonies at Mercer County Special Olympics, the Superbowl Party, and Rosary Recitation prior to our meetings. On a sad note, the council lost three brothers (PGK Robert Dombrowski, PGK John A. Ruddiman, Sr. and William O'Brien) and two wives (Evelyn Calamia and Sally O'Connor). The year ended on a positive side with the council earning its seventh Star Council Award.
