Living the dream in Sharonville, OH - with Sharon!

I'm sorry that I haven't kept everyone up to date. It's been hard to think about anything motorcycles and I am really sorry that that means you..... tickedoff (ticked off at me). It's been tough times.

Joe is still healing. Things are finally coming together. He's had 6 or 7 skin grafts and it looks like he's finally getting ready for prosthetic fitting.



I really didn't understand crowdfunding.... When it was suggested for Joe, I never thought that it would trigger the response that it did. You know, you have an accident like this, and everyone comes together and then, at some point, you are home alone, missing a limb, wondering how you are ever going to support your family, hold down a job, or just survive.

I could see what Joe was going through, as his father I was ready to try anything. Sly suggested the go fund me page, one had been setup for a friend of hers who was fighting ALS.

I didn't except much but then your contributions started coming in.... the amount didn't matter... the thought meant everything. I wish that I could make each and everyone of you understand what that meant.... Just how much you lifted that young man's spirits. It meant so much to him to know that so many of you cared. Job well done. Thanks so much!!! Love you all....

Thanks for the update my friend, I hope you and yours are doing as well as possible, and hope you're able to at least come down to The Republic for a visit sometime soon!
