Here's a REAL good news story, at least I think so.
I was one of the instructors of the Confirmation class at my Catholic Church. Since the Bishop was coming the Knights of Columbus (a Catholic Mens Organization) was performing duties as Honor Guard. When the Knights are the Honor GUard they wear Tuxedos, a large hat with Ostrich Plumes, a Cape, white gloves, and a sword. This is called their Regalia (I'll post a picture of the Regalia later. As the Sir Knights were vesting their capes the two Co-Instructors asked who these gentlemen were and what they were doing. I gave a brief explanation of the honor guard. Knowing I was a Knight they asked if I vested in Regalia. I explained that I was saving my pennies so I could purchase my own. After Mass one of the Co-Instructors, handed me a check for $300.00 and told me to order my Regalia. She had talked to one of the Sir Knights after mass and asked what he'd paid for his Regalia. His response was $300.00. She's a great gal. She had also purchased 19 leather bound bibles and had the names of students inscribed on them as a confirmation present...the gal has a couple of extra dollar I think.
Once I have my Regalia I'm going to have a photo taken and framed and present it to her as a thank you. My Dad also has the Regalia, We're going to do a picture together in our get up. (My Dad is cool).
Anyhow, that's my story, I had a good time.
