Dan's Story
Whoa! where has all the time gone!? It doesn't seem all that long ago, that I was still walking the hallowed halls of high school myself! Now this May, my youngest of 3 sons graduates from the same school I did.
In July of 75, I entered the U.S. Air Force. I spent my time there as a Law Enforcement Specialist (Cop) My hitch was short, as I was offered an early-out when they turned Kincheloe AFB in the U.P. into a prison. I left to re-locate in Lake Odessa and proceeded to make the biggest mistake of my life by getting married. After a couple of years I came to my senses, ended a rotten marriage and focused on my chosen career in the Japanese Motorcycle Industry. The bulk of my adult life was spent on two wheels or on the end of a wrench, or behind a desk in a management capacity. A 2 year gig with Team Honda Endurance and even a 12 week gig with Evel Kneivel back in 83 still shows up on my resume.

currently am employed by Hastings City Bank as their Facilities Manager and I really love it! Always something different and never a dull moment. Besides, I guess it was time to cut my hair and get a real job! But I'll never give up my motorcycles!
Now, I've slowed down. I fought a battle with throat cancer back in '06 &'07 and I guess I've beat it so far. I really love to ride my bike and sit around and play my guitar. I'm always in my garage puttering with something and am currently restoring an old farm tractor.
I'm looking forward to the pending "empty nest syndrome" although my boys mean the world to me. I suppose grandkids will be here soon enough.
Life is short, and sometimes I feel like I missed something. But with everything in perspective, I've got my God, my family, my toys and my health. And enough money to support them all. I truly don't think I need anything more than that. :o)
