Rick Goodin is an executive. He worked out of state for several years before coming back home to Marion County to work in the family business - Lebanon Oak Flooring.

He and his wife, Judy, have a son who has captured the imagination of many here in Marion County...he's a sort of young monk, and we read not long ago about his trek with his brothers in his religious order who set out on a journey with only the clothes on their backs...so interesting!

Well, one day I spotted the young monk's dad. He was quietly all alone and down on his knees, repairing a side walk at St. A. Church. I'm sure he never expected anyone to notice this kindness he did for charity, but when I saw this executive there in his jeans and on his knees I couldn't help but document it.
