A Knights of Columbus Council is celebrating 65 years in Glendale, Queens, with its last two charter members.
4th Degree Knight Don Gander signed up to join the Knights of Columbus the day the council opened in 1961.
A few months later, John Hickey joined.
The two men are the last remaining charter members of the Monsignor Sherman Council.
At 90 and 84 years old, they remain very active in the community.
John volunteers his time at the concession stand at Sacred Heart Catholic Academy, while Don can be found behind the council bar for every meeting and event.
As the Knights of Columbus look to the future and welcome more new members every year, Don and John say the best part of their time with the Knights has never changed: the fraternity, faith, and service.
