GO MICHIGAN WOLVERINES !!!

 |
| THIS IS NOT OUR GARAGE or CAR. Over the years, Barb and John have enjoyed owning 5 different Corvettes; and, we hope to find a used red Corvette similar to the one above. And, we also wish our garage floor looked this nice and clean (see picture below). |
|
|
 |
| Here is John's 1937 Ford Street Rod after friend Leon Coder painted it; and, it looks "FANTASTIC"!!! Also, friend Jim Scarpello recently helped John with the wiring. NOTE: look closely at the rear door and you'll see the reflection of John's Harley. Now that's a "Mirror Finish". And, "Yes" the floor is covered with red over-spray. |

 |
| Although it appears John is sleeping, he is actually praying that his "beloved" MICHIGAN Wolverines and/or Denver Bronco's, win their next football game; with his cat "Daisy Duke" (photo by Barb). |

 |
| Here is John's beautiful wife Barb holding Carmen's cat "Mini". Fortunately, Barb has shared John's love of motorcycles and hot rods for over 50 years; and, Barb & John just celebrated their 49th Wedding Anniversary. |

| August, 2010: This is our oldest daughter Julie, taken at her home in Tennessee. Unfortunately, our North Carolina daughter Carmen always seems to avoid the camera, but I'll keep trying. |

 |
| Here is our Grand-son Matthew watching the sun set. And, this "great" picture was taken by our favorite son-in-law Jeff. |

 |
| Barb and John rode their Custom Harley RoadKing throughout the Western United States and Western Canada. And, John actually RODE to Bike Week in Sturgis, South Dakota, 23 times. Unfortunately, very few bikers who attend Sturgis actually ride there; and soon, this event will be called "TRAILER WEEK". 2011: Barb and John try to ride every weekend, and John rides almost daily in the summer. |

 |
| John designed this motorcycle, and it took him a full year to actually build it to look like an old-school "Rigid Chopper", when in fact, it has a Rubber-Mounted H-D Powertrain and a New Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam Motor. He entered this awsome bike in 3 Motorcycle Shows, and won First Place in all 3 shows. And, it was also awarded the highly coveted "People's Choice Award" in the 2 shows that allowed the public to vote for their favorite motorcycle. This bike was sold to a neighbor. |

 |
| John accquired the nickname "DR. EVO" when his biker friends discovered he earned his Ph.D. in a previous life. Here, John is doing a "burn-out" on his 103 cubic inch Evo-Powered Drag Bike, while his "great friend", and Master Harley Mechanic Len Havens (red t-shirt) watches at the Sturgis Dragway during Bike Week. This motorcycle was "extremely fast", and won virtually every formal event (and "illegal" street-race). Bill Johnson, another "great friend", and the owner of High Country Harley-Davidson in Longmont, Colorado was the team's major sponsor. |

 |
| July, 2010: Our "Dear Friends" Bob & Mary Doyle stopped in Colorado for a visit on their way home to Washington State. Bob was John's mentor early in his career, and John refers to Bob as his "Guru". Bob has written several "extremely popular" management books which were published by The American Management Association. Bob & Mary are standing on our deck overlooking the Rocky Mountains at sunset. |

These "3 Blind Mice" are the reason I'm an Independent Voter; and, I hope "informed" voters Replace "Obama the Inept", before his weak anti-American policies destroy the America I love and respect!!!
