After three months of work by my brother Psychotic Bovine, my sister and I, editing,proofreading,correcting and putting the stories in order we are done. I just got the books from the publisher and they look good. I will be selling them at Inzane. A portion of the profits will be going to the Inzane charity. Don't worry, for those who can't attend the rally I will be selling them afterwards with a small shipping cost. A big shout out goes to Daniel Meyer for helping us format the PDF file to the correct size. We had to send it to him numerous times to get it correct because my computer wouldn't convert to the size needed.  |

Awesome, I always loved his stories. I'm not going to make it to Inzane this year but please put me on the list to buy a copy when you sell them.
Ride Safe,

Besides reading many of Wayne's stories on this forum, I have had the pleasure of sitting in his living room and listening to him tell me many of these stories and others that weren't posted here.
I went to Mark's house today and purchased my copy of the book and was surprised and amazed at the great job the kids did in putting this together. Wayne would be proud.
When I got home with the book I sat down to give it a quick look. A quick look turned into reading a story or two and before I knew it I had read it cover to cover.
These stories document the life of our longest lived VRCC member and a real decent human being who I was blessed to call my good friend.
Good job Mark, Chris, Sherri, & Wayne Jr.

Yup-I Hear you Evan. In fact Ross and I got a shot of the very liquor you see John and Wayne drinking when John visited. And Ross and I were also fortunate enough to stop in Des Moines on the way back from Spearfish. Two Really Interesting Men they were! Miss em both.  RIDE SAFE. |

OK here is our plan. The intial order of books was 130 copies. After a few books going to family and selling one to Doug (six2go) Haller and another to my best friend I am taking at least 100 to Inzane. I want to sell as many copies as I can to attendees so I can give a portion of the profits to this year's Inzane charity. After the rally I will be selling them to those who couldn't attend. I am compiling a list of those who have expressed an interest in buying the books here and on Facebook. If I run out don't worry I will order more to cover the list. The publisher had them printed and to me in less then a week.
I hope you all enjoy the book. My dad considered doing a book after many of you told him he should. After doing research he found it to be much to much work and gave up. So after he died I talked with the family and decided we were going to do it for him. After the rally the same amount of the profits will be split between our church and the local cancer service's that helped my dad in his last month.
Looking forward to attending Inzane this year..

Not only getting the book itself done, but your intentions for profits from the sale of it are honorable as well and would make your Dad proud I'm sure. I won't be at InZane, but please put me down for a copy...I enjoyed your Dad's stories posted here on this forum and I look forward to reading the rest of 'em. |
