Chapter Director
Director
Hellooooooooo Chapter E,
I hope everybody’s July was good. It was definitely a hot one. We had quite a few activities planned last month
(11). Our main one was the Bug Gut Ride on the 16th. We had folks from Chapters X, P, and B come ride
with us. We had a couple of different groups from K&N come as well. There was one chapter obviously
missing from the ride that shall remain nameless. Chapter ( ? ). Now, the leader had a good reason to miss. His
bike is being worked on. Now, just so you guys know if the shoe was on the other foot I’d be hearing about it,
too. I’m not complaining about them not coming; I’m just razzin’ him about not stepping up! That’s just the
way bruthas from other muthas do each other.
July was the first of two more “abbreviated” meetings. I heard word that if someone had known it was going to
be short they wouldn’t have come. All I can say is talk to your Chapter Director because I sent an email to all
Chapter Directors letting them know of this change for JULY, AUGUST & SEPTEMBER. Nothing has really
changed about the social aspect of the meeting, which is why people come in the first place. Eat at 6 pm, meet
at 7 pm. We have the things we are required to have by GWRRA: the flag salute, a rider’s ed segment,
announcements, words from other chapters, the contingency prize and 50/50. The only thing I took out was the
“fluff.” When the meeting is over everybody usually stands around and visits or goes home. This format just
adds another venue for the ones who like to ride in the evenings to do that as a group. It’s a win for everybody.
I’m a BIG supporter of ANYTHING GWRRA. SURPRISE!! If you know me it’s not really a surprise. I think
it all boils down to one question. Are you a MEMBER or PARTICIPANT of GW? Members pay their dues
and participate when it suits them, when it’s something they like or someplace they want to go. Participants go
and do practically everything even though they may have done it before because that’s what the group is doing.
I would like to see Chapter E become absolutely full of participants. When we have a Chapter outing planned,
lets show up in force. Make people take notice that E is in the house!!! Don’t get me wrong, We are a good
Chapter!!! Let’s be a GREAT CHAPTER!!!! Let’s bring that comaraderie back to the group.
Watch out OKLAHOMA.
CHAPTER E IS STEPPING UP!

Safety Is An Attitude
It is a good idea to review and refresh your safety thinking now and then. I did some interesting reading earlier this
month myself. For this article, I am reprinting and using some safety tips straight from the manual. Take a moment and
read through them, you may find information you had forgotten about or did not realize. Go over each one individually
and give it some thought. How does each apply to how you normally operate your motorcycle?
"Do not allow familiarity with the machine to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury."
"Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert."
"Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view."
"Dress properly - Wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, gloves, and protective footwear. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot."
"Always wear eye protection."
"Stay alert - Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate while tired, upset, or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention may result in serious injury."
"Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition."
The first one is worth repeating.
"Do not allow familiarity with the machine to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury."
A common theme here is that we, the operators, are responsible for our actions. I am responsible for my actions. I like
the idea. My safety starts with me.
By the way, the manual these motorcycle tips, word for word, are from did not come with a motorcycle. This manual
came with a battery powered lawn mower I just purchased.
Safety is an attitude. Is it yours?
Harry Sanders, Chapter Educator
"Because I want everyone to experience the added fun and safety that comes from riding with an even higher level of
skill than they currently employ."

Our 2016
Assistant
Chapter Directors
Welcome our New Assistant Chapter E Directors
Alan and Frances met in 1968 and took their first motorcycle rides together that summer. That’s a long time
ago folks! Life took them each their own way, until coming back into contact with one another in 2008. They
were married in June of 2012 and moved to Sand Springs, OK.
Alan has a widely varied professional background from pilot to law enforcement to communications, which is
his current occupation. He flew both fixed wing craft and helicopters and is still a licensed pilot. Some of his
most interesting stories of flying helicopters come from his piloting for the entertainment industry and fire
fighting in southern California. He has been associated with California Highway Patrol, Los Angeles County
Sheriff and currently Creek County Sheriff. Alan is a US Veteran, with honorable discharges from 3 branches
of service – US Air Force, US Army and US Navy. He did 2 tours of duty in Viet Nam doing para-rescue of
downed pilots behind enemy lines, and his last couple of years in active duty stateside continued his medical
expertise in labor and delivery in a major military hospital….yes, he delivered lots and lots of babies. Alan is
also a licensed locksmith. His hobbies are also many and varied. He is always exploring new things and
interests. Alan has revived his Santa Claus persona and has been catching the eyes of quite a few little tikes in
stores and restaurants. Some of them excitedly grab their parents, saying something about seeing Santa and the
young ones’ eyes get large when he winks at them. He enjoys scuba diving (unfortunately, there’s not many
suitable diving locations near here – certainly not, when he’s been used to diving in the ocean), making jewelry,
woodworking, Ham radio, and many others.
Frances also has a fairly varied professional history. IT fields ranging from building of electronic
components/systems and installation to instruction of end users of computer related equipment and robotics
systems, accounting, and law enforcement. She has worked for both Federal and State Governments and
currently is employed by the State of Oklahoma. Frances currently uses her IT and accounting backgrounds for
the state of Oklahoma. Some favorite hobbies for Frances are sewing/quilting/embroidery, jewelry making,
designing/making home décor and formal wear. She has designed and made wedding/pageant gowns,
men’s/women’s suits, and baby items in addition to the home décor items. One of her original gown creations
won first place in a Miss Teen Colorado pageant. Frances is currently working on a new design for Alan’s new
Santa suit. She also enjoys painting – artistic painting is a preference, but she has been known to paint the
house as well, which is handy from Alan’s perspective.
Alan and Frances are long time animal lovers, with a current flock of 1 kitty (Joey), 2 pups – 1 short haired
dachshund (Dinah), 1 longhaired dachshund (Sasha), and 2 very entertaining birds – 1 blue and gold macaw
(Kenzi) and 1 African grey parrot (Sophie). There is never a shortage of entertainment with those two. They

converse with one another, become very verbal when they want to go to bed, plus talk to and scold the dogs.
Usually when a bird starts scolding a dog, one of the dogs is into something they have no business doing.
In addition to their GWRRA membership, Alan and Frances are involved with Patriot Guard Riders and ride in
memory of both of their Dads, who served during WWII and in honor of Alan’s service during the Viet Nam
war. Alan’s Dad was in the US Army and was in the Pacific Theater. Frances’ Dad was in the US Navy, also
in the Pacific Theater, a survivor of the infamous Bataan Death March and spent over 3 ½ years as a POW of
the Japanese.
Both Alan and Frances are currently licensed for HAM Radio and enjoy sharing their hobbies with one another.
They are both looking forward to their new duties as Assistant Directors of Chapter E and in being more
involved with GWRRA.
Remember to support our new sponsor, Mondo’s is located at 3410 S. Peoria Ave in Tulsa.
