This read may seem corny to some of you (even to me as I’m typing it), but I feel compelled to say what’s on my mind. I have never been the type to participate on these forums boards as you can tell by my posting stats, though due to my recent medical condition I have had a lot more time on my hands and recently been on here more frequently. You guys kind of sucked me in.
In the past years I was an active member and held the position of Co-Leader of a local VRCC chapter, the once great “Southeast Michigan Chapter“. It became the largest and most active group in the state, thanks to my co-leader Big Bob, captains Momz & Ed, past leader Big Bill, Hypre Dave, and to all the members willingness to participate as a group. We held weekly group rides, dinners, bbq’s, charity drives, and a whole lot more. And did we have fun doing it. Some of my best friendships resulted from the membership of this club.
Two years ago I resigned from the leadership position and was blackballed from the state chapter due to inner-circle politics (but that’s another story). Though I was never a big participant national level, I also pulled away from entire club, until now.
When I recently got sick my good friend George “Momz” posted on this board for well wishes, and I was overwhelmed by not only the replies to the thread, but all the calls and e-mails I received from this club membership. Needless to say, it touched me. I never realized how many of you cared, enough so to respond the way you did, about something so trivial as a gallbladder removal.
In closing, I want to say THANK YOU to all my VRCC friends, And declare “I‘M BACK.”
Merry Christmas, and may 2012 bring prosperity to all that deserve it.
Tony Z.
