[dropcaps] I [/dropcaps] t is with pride and pleasure that the Degree team poses for this picture as they performed their first 1st Degree ceremony on August 2, 2012. After months and months of preparation and hours and hours of practice, they performed as old veterans their first time out. No wonder really, with all the talent of the Knights pictured here. Tom Greco, the 1st degree team leader, gets a lot of the credit for his vision and his persistence in forming, developing and inspiring this team of Knights.
After only a handful of performances this team had rightfully earned a reputation throughout the diocese. Bill Dover, District Deputy, and Roger Scott Diocesan Deputy Director, have been most complimentary of the work of this team, using words like “tremendous“, “inspiring” and “great job“.
