Call her Captain

CORTLAND - Growing up, Janie Byrd's three brothers never tried to protect her, at least on the ice.

Charitable mission

In the fall of 1881, a few men and a Catholic priest met in the basement of St. Mary's Church in New Haven, Conn. The Rev. Michael J. McGivney wanted to honor the efforts of Christopher Columbus, who not only discovered America, but brought a determination to spread Christianity with him. In March, 1882, the group officially incorporated as the Knights of Columbus.
