Pictured from left to right are Dan Thompson, John Moshier and Leonard Kaiser, all former Grand Knights for Great Bend Knights of Columbus Council #862. The former Grand Knights are holding plaques representing Star Council Awards, which were received during each of the preceding five years. The plaques are in recognition of the council’s accomplishments in conducting programs in five different areas (Council, Church, Youth, Family and Community) as well as their achievement in recruiting new members and promoting the council’s insurance program. In addition to the awards described, Thompson previously led the Knights of Columbus Council to achieve the Star Council award in 1995. He also led the council to earn the Columbian Award in 1994 and 1999.
