Sturgis: Meeting Great People

I spent a few days around the Pappy Hoel Campground this week and met quite a few people while hanging around the VFW booth at the entrance of the General Store.  I also got to hang out with a great group of Harley Davidson executives at the HD pool party one afternoon.  It's all about relationships! It was wonderful to see Dave Cavalier from HD again!! And, of course, a radio interview or two while I was enjoying the sweet sounds of Chapel Heart, an amazing trio of country music vocalists.  Sisters Danica and Devynn, along with their cousin Trea,  sing like angels!  Well, country angels!  I met them in Kansas City once and they loved Mama Cass, so of course that means they are great people!  Check them out at chapelheart.com!

Tim and Steve at the VFW booth at the entrance of the General Store are recruiting and informational phenoms!  They made sure I talked to the people they were talking to while I was there.  I guess I've got a certain cachet being the Commander in Chief.  Here's a random sampling of great people enjoying the Motorcycle Rally.  They joined or re-joined the VFW because they love what we do!

On the air with Johnny and Dee, station 94.1 WJJO out of Madison Wisconsin.  Strong Navy ties, but I won't hold that against them!

Dave Cavalier, Harley Davidson General Manager of Business Development

Larry, a Vietnam veteran, REJOINING the VFW!  Disappointed in the VFW in the past, he's now fully on board with the new direction of SERVICE!

Martin Duarte, Program Outreach Coordinator of Wounded Warriors Family Support.  They had a solemn and moving tribute to the fallen soldiers of the current wars.

Steve, a NEW life member of the VFW.  He wasn't aware that his service in Korea made him eligible.  He was so proud to become a member.

Peter and John, North Dartmouth Massachusetts VFW Post 9059!

Chad from Iowa!  He was really having a great time!
