Faivre Implement’s Terry Faivre and John Shulfer delivered the
495-pound safe to St. Mary’s, manually carrying it up a flight
of stairs and positioning it in its new resting place. Afterwards,
they familiarized Kristi with the operation of the new safe.
UNEXPECTED RESPONSE
In the next Church bulletin, Father Janowski posted this notice,
“THANK YOU FAIVRE IMPLEMENT! St. Mary’s received a new
safe, donated by Faivre Implement. This generosity is a sign
of the good that can come out a bad situation! Wear your John
Deere attire with pride and support Faivre Implement whenever
possible!”
The notice moved Jim Faivre greatly, “I gave St. Mary’s this safe
because even though I do not attend their church, I know what
it is like to be burglarized. It is terrible that this small parish was
the victim of such a crime. As a retailer in a less than perfect
economy, we cannot always contribute but are very happy we
fulfilled St. Mary’s needs. Their gratitude overwhelms me and
reinforces to me, how Central Wisconsin is full of great people.”
In the end, the happiest person is Lukas Vuorinen, the person
who moved the choice of a new safe to a “greener” decision,
John Deere green that is.
Whether you call it Karma, destiny, providence or just plain
fate, there are a whole lot of people who are thanking their
lucky stars for this strange set of circumstances.
