May 2019 Knight of the Month - Jim Anderson

Jim moved to HSV in 1995 after retiring from a 45-year career in the Aero- Space business with Gen. Elec., American Airlines and Rolls - Royce.
 
He came to HSV as a non-practicing Presbyterian, but a regular at Catholic Churches around the country (Pat was a devout Catholic).
They had moved here to enjoy the golf and the other amenities offered in the Village while looking for their permanent retirement location. They quickly found that they were having so much fun and making so many really good friends, they just stopped looking and decided to make the Village their permanent residence.

In 2009, at the gentle urging and encouragement of Monsignor Bernard Malone and Patricia, he became a Catholic at the Easter Confirmation and Mass in Little Rock by Bishop Anthony Taylor.

In 2011, sponsored by Bro. Bob Honzik , he joined the Knights of Columbus and was immediately put to work on the recruiting committee under the direction of Bro. Knight Ed Cudworth .

In 2012 Jim was exemplified as a 2nd and 3rd Degree Knight, and in April of this year, he received Honors of the 4th Degree in exemplification ceremonies at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church.

Jim is also strong supporter of several of this Council’s Charitable Programs, Including:
CPID - tootsie rolls.
Christmas Gifts for Kids.
Culture of Life - baby bottles.
Seminarian Education Support - taste of faith.
Village Outreach Christmas Baskets.
HSV Community Foundation.
