Update from Dennis Shelley

Paige brought me home yesterday, she’s 19 now Archie! I’m doing very well. My surgery went exactly as planned, I am managing the pain extremely well. Barb thinks I’m doing to much (I’m shocked!). I’ve had plenty of rehab practice and am able to read my body quite well. I would love to lead today’s plan ride but Barb said NO (shocked again)! With a little luck I will see you all at Mike and Mamie’s club meeting next Saturday. Thanks for all of the prayers and support.

“I have no home. My home is where my extra luggage is, and where the car is stored, and where I happen to be getting mail at the time. My home is AMERICA.” –Ernie Pyle

On this 70th anniversary of Ernie Pyle’s death, I reflect on how close this quote is to the spirit of a motorcyclist.  Pyle’s skill as a writer endeared him to all those who served in WWII because he told their stories better than anyone else.
