OK....
I wrote Karla Jones and said,
" I realize it may be a bit premature, but we have spring and fall rallies in different places. Few, if any, have the roads that north Arkansas has. I was wondering what your thoughts may be on us having an early summer memorial ride for Bob annually? You certainly wouldn't be expected to attend every time, but I see nothing wrong with paying tribute to a man who did so much for the bikes we all love....I'm wanting this to not be a somber gathering, but a celebration of his life, like I think he would have wanted....If that might be too much right now, I understand and I will respect your wishes. I just wanted to see what your thoughts about it were first."
Her reply was,
" I can't begin to tell you how much I love the idea of an annual ride to celebrate his life! That would keep his memory alive, and who could ask for more?"
So.... maybe a bit early, but....
What do you all think about having an annual Bob Jones Memorial ride somewhere bewteen May-July? Maybe a fall ride in place of the Talimena ride? I know the meeting of the Minds at John and Kats is somewhere in the June time frame, and I don't want people to have to decide between one or the other, so I was wondering your opinions.
Arkansa's roads and scenery are tough to beat and it's centrally located. I just think it would be a great way to get together AND keep Bob's memory continueing.
