The
Racing Days!
10
years of thrills and a few spills. This
is me winning at Sears Point International Raceway (now Infenion)
on
September 16th, 1979. My how 24 years slip away.
The bike, a 1979 Yamaha XT500, is nicknamed
the "Trophy Getter" and is still ridden. The
leathers
seem to have shrunk over the years and aches and pains
are starting to
show up!

My
Stepfather, Sam Deal on the 1935 John Deere that he bought new, pulling
the Senior Citizen's float in a 1987 parade in Wheaton Minnesota. He
was a early founder and contributor of Senior Citizens in Wheaton. My Dad
died in 1963 when I was 14 and my Mom married Samuel Joseph Deal 3
years later in l966. He was my Stepdad until his death until 2002.
He was 92 years old. During his life he raised 5 children with his
first wife Evelen, Joe, Leo, Ida Mae, Janice and Jeanne. He
always set a good example for me (which I didn't always follow) and made
feel like one of the family. He was DFL chairman in Traverse County for
many years...I will upload pics of him and Hubert Humphrey and
Walter Mondale in the future.

He was also a poet and I will put up some of
his poems. I am so happy that I am a part of his family

Jake,
The World's Most Unforgettable Dog
He could find a rock that was thrown down a hill and
never had to smell it
first. He loved carrying around dead rats and bunnies for days on end (I know, disgusting). Despite his
somewhat unusual habits, he was loved by all who met him. Jake lived
to be 15 years old and I believe that he died a virgin. Both he and
his running buddy, Houston are buried on Moeller Mountain.

This
is Bitsy, a Pomeranian, helping me work a couple of years ago. She
loved to be in her basket and watch everyone. She's in New York now
with
Pamela, a good friend of mine. She taught me how great
little dogs can be.

This
is Happy Monday, the mondayMEDIA mascot.
He didn't help out with the MMTS website at all but loves to dig.
He's also megavocal. We think he's saying,
"I want to come back as a food critic." |
