Archie James Knight was hardly ever Outwitted

Today I honor my paternal grandfather, Archie James Knight, born January 21, 1885, in Buford, Arkansas. I bear two-thirds of his name, humbly and gratefully. He was a man of large spirit, deep faith, and much kindness. He knew the value of hard work; he loved his family; and he sang and laughed with friends and family in this life as he does now for eternity. His fourth-grade education instilled in him a love of reading and a determination that his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren would know the joy of learning and would share the wonder he felt for God's creation, redeemed by the one he was never ashamed to call Lord.
