Edith Felter, 91 The Ride!!
As some of you know, several members of the HOG Chapter participated
in Edith Felter’s (age 91) “list of firsts”.
On that list was a desire to ride a motorcycle. The program
was put out from Rick Neal of Wal-Mart and HOG member Bob
Blumenstein was given the call (by Rick) to have Edith as
his passenger. Bob put out the word and, subsequently, so
did the HOG chapter. So Thursday, June 12, Edith took her
first motorcycle ride. Bob had a jacket, gloves, helmet for
Edith. And she was sporting a HD bandana as a doo rag. When
Bob zipped up the jacket Edith exclaimed, “Now, I’m
all leathered up!”
Bob Blumenstein asked me to lead the pack. We left the Senior
Citizen’s Center on So. Walton in Bentonville, traveled
through Rogers to Highway 12. We then took 12 to the 127 cutoff,
rejoined 12 to Highway 23 where we stopped at the Phillips
66 station. We then returned via Hiway 12 back to the Senior
Citizen’s Center. We had 10 bikes total and 13 riders
including Edith and traveled about 70 miles.
Bob mentioned that at first Edith held on to him ‘like
an Anaconda!’ However, by the end of the ride she had
relaxed, kicked back and was enjoying the scenery. At the
end of the ride, just as at the beginning, Edith was greeted
by her friends and fellow volunteers at the center.
Edith said she could get used to riding a motorcycle and
might even become a motorcycle momma!
Thanks go out to Rick Neal for putting the program together
and to Bob Blumenstein for getting the initial word out. And,
thanks, too, of course, to the various riders from Wal-Mart
and our HOG Chapter who took time from their schedules to
participate in this fun and meaningful event for Edith Felter.
There were some pictures taken and are posted in HOGS
in the Community.
