<This Year's Heroes>
The weather was almost perfect for this year's LOP rallye. Many more members (especially Peckerheads) showed up early to enjoy the camaraderie and a little peace and quite before the crowds started to arrive in earnest Friday afternoon. This year's rallye honored our Grand Marshal Victor Toogood. Victor has attended all 17 of our Lake O' the Pines rallies and has stories to tell about each one.
Thanks to Daryl Bane the Awards Ceremony went off without a hitch and for the second year in a row with a functional PA system. Daryl's performance as our LOP- MC was as usual exemplary. Once again Bob Speer did a fantastic job of managing the complex registration process and selling rallye T-shirts, club T-shirts, pins and hats. Thanks also go to Dave Howe, Peckerhead extraordinaire for coming up with Trophies and Rallye pins and to Dean Baker for laying out our bike show area. Thanks to Pistol for the bike show documentation and for organizing the ballot counting team consisting of Betty and Dave Howe, Jeannie and Berwyn Henderson, Marlene Gabrielson, Tommy Delmar, Ron Brock and last but not least our Italian Peckerhead, Fabrizio Petris. As usual another big thanks to Paul Valentine who again handled all the AMA insurance chores. Thanks also go to Clay Walley for rounding up in-town door prize donors.
To all those who did make the pilgrimage - thanks for making this year's rallye a success. For those who didn't you missed a wonderful time - hope to see you all next year.
Join the club. Come out next year. Display your bike & enjoy yourself in a weekend of great fun!
