MCDXCIX-As Last Night's Darkness Turns To Today's Light-From The Patriotic Ball To The K Of C Free Throw

Around this time last year, I was at my 400th Post, as this blog has grown considerably larger, with illustrations & occasional videos, shot from my Cell Phone:

Last Night, The General Stephen A Moylan Assembly #715, 4th Degree, Knights of Columbus, honored their previous leader, The Past Faithful Navigator, Sir Knight Luther Mc Neal, a Man who served his Country in Vietnam, from 1963 to 1971, & continues to serve his Parish, St Catherine Of Sienna in Hollis, Queens, the same Parish where Al Roker J r, of NBC's Today Show, grew up;

We had a Maestro Of Ceremonies, whose humor has earned him the title of "The Butcher Of Bad Gags", so fun was to be had, as Honors were bestowed on Luther Mc Neal, a gentleman who enjoys Jazz;

One of our Group's Chairmen, S K George Luongo, had a grievous emergency in his family, as his mom was in Emergency Surgery. She was close to death, but reports have her in recovery & she's going to make it;
