Sid Gambrells describes his ancestors like this:
They were fun loving people. Very religious and stood on their beliefs. But yet they enjoyed a good joke also. They were friendly and loved helping others. Would always make sure you ate before you left.
The Knights of other lines have much the same characteristics-- fun loving, helping others, religious, and generously feeding their guests.
Thanks so much, Sid, for sharing your family with us.
