This Mission is now complete. There were 4 Bikes, 2 Trikes, 3 Cages with 11 members in attendance. One member today had ridden with the PGR before but this was his first Mission with the Austin PGR. Soup presented him with a "Mission Accomplished" pin to welcome him to the Group. As our newest "RC in Training" Soup Campbell took charge of the Mission and did an excellent job. He has my support for sure. Also doing a great job as usual were Nicki as Flag Wrangler and Patsy who did double duty as my helper and Soup's helper during the Mission. A special Thank You to both of you Ladies.

We had a request from Lonnie Deans family for a "Special Departure" as we were leaving the Memorial. Earlier I had told the FD that once the Memorial started we would "Quietly" depart. Just before the Memorial started the FD came out and told us that Mrs. Dean wanted us to, in her words, "Let Her Rip because Lonnie would love it." They waited to hear us leaving as a start to the Memorial. Thank you Mrs. Dean and RIP Lonnie Dean.

Thank you to all in attendance today. I appreciate each and every one of you. I hope all made it safely back home.
