CURIOUS CONNECTIONS
The unusual part about Lukas loving everything John Deere is
that his parents never owned any Ag or lawn-related John Deere
equipment. As far as they know, Lukas’ grandfather is the only
extended family member who owns John Deere equipment.
He has a John Deere riding lawn tractor.
After St. Mary’s decided to purchase a new safe, Kristi searched
for safes online, but never considered nor saw a John Deere safe.
DISCOVERY
About the same time, Kristi had a birthday. Lukas insisted the family
go to Faivre Implement to purchase a John Deere sweatshirt for her
birthday present. That was when they spotted the John Deere safes.
They took a brochure home and Lukas spent the evening reading it,
According to Kristi, “Lukas then informed us that St. Mary's needed
a John Deere safe.“
Kristi and Scott decided to move ahead with Lukas’ recommendation
and contacted Bob Fenske, husband of Linda Fenske, St. Mary’s
church board member, who headed up the search for a new safe.
