News & Views from our CD

     I hope the Newsletter finds everyone well.  We are about to get the leadership together, I think that I am finished.  Frank and Pam have their paperwork in and it should be back soon.  We have not started on Glenn and Marilyn yet because all of their paperwork came back to be re-done.  We will get us an educator soon!
     June is behind us, but we were able to get in two rides!  The first ride was to Fairfield and of course Sam's for lunch.  Along on the journey to Fairfield was Frank and Pam Lucas, Olan and Regina Weaver, Michael Rowley and Dorothy Villa, Butch and Carolyn Morris, Howard and Weedia Gay and Everett and Sandy Wooten.   
     Early on the 25th, Frank and Pam, John and Janean Anderson, Howard and Weedia Gay, Michael Rowley and Dorothy Villa and Everett and Sandy Wooten took a little ride to Coldsprings and had breakfast at Elaine's.   The group spent some time on the square shopping, as it happened it was trade day in Coldsprings.  From Coldsprings we went across the lake and road through Lake Livingston State Park and then home.
     Now that June, a very hot and dry month is over, July is starting out to be even hotter!  So, the moral is ride very early or very late!  If you happen to be out on the motorcycle watch the heat on you and the bike and don't hurt either!
     

C. E.  & Sandra Wooten, Chapter Directors

FYI:  Carolyn and Butch Morris have been good enough to offer a room at the Second Baptist Church as an alternative to The Lakeside.  We will have coffee available and will all chip in with breakfast muffins, breads, etc.  Meeting time wil stay at 8:30 a.m. on the 2nd Saturday of the month as usual.



A LOOK BACK!  This is a poem written by our own Sandra Wooten about our troop.  This was a few years back, so some of the material is relevant to the time and what was going on then, but some still applies now!  It is well written and we thought we would share it with you all again.

Ode to "F" Troop

Goldwing Road Riders are we...
Riding the roads we're meant to be.
Two wheels below - The skies up high
All this is ours if we would only ride!!

Ride to eat -- eat to ride
This we shout with great pride.
Although few meals we have missed
I really must insist
New places and dishes would be revealing
If we would just go two-wheeling!

Safety first is our motto --
More alert than in our auto!
Always wear our sleeves, gloves and helmets too.
Without these we would be blue!

Check the tires, fluids, lights & brakes --
Spend as much time as it takes!
Watch the rain, gravel, cracks, curves & swerves--
Don't let the 18 wheelers get on your nerves!!

Practice makes perfect and that's a fact!!
Now we all know how to act.

Frank & Pam are always ready--
a new experience to find.
Ready, willing & able to serve us
If it just weren't for the US Postal Service.

George & Jean will always show
With the very latest joke you know....
George will have a picture of his cousin Mavis
And will be riding his "Harlum Davis"!!

John & Janean are our leaders...
Sometimes even MAP readers!
Don't put John in front of the line--
Three or four back and he's just fine!!

Olan & Regina's green Honda is sad & forlorn
As it quietly waits under cover and dust
While Olan blows the School Bus Horn!!

Glenn & Marilyn are as happy as they can get..
But their two-wheeled Honda
Hasn't appeared yet!

Everett & Sandra have retired -- Whoopee!!
Hondas purple and red are full of glee!
They stay in their garage & don't even run...
Seems there's just not enough time for fun!!

Facts are facts -- we cannot hide...
Guess we need to just take a ride!!!

Something to Think About.......

I received this as an e-mail from a friend.  It is "A Cowboy's Guide to Life" and there are some excellent points that are made and well worth remembering.

The Year is 1905... This will boggle your mind.  I know it did mine!  One hundred years ago... What a difference a century makes.

Here are some of the U.S.  statistics for the year 1905:

The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.

Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
