A LETTER TO THE BOARD

Hi Chris,

Can't thank you & your org. members enough for what your doing. Please pass my sincere gratitude along to anyone that I may not have had a chance to talk / thank personally.

You will have to excuse me for not getting in the mix much yesterday. I wasn't much for socializing yet as I still had a lot of soul searching to do yesterday & really needed some time alone on my bike.

You guys really don't know how much you really did for my nephew . That will be a lifetime memory for him. You showed him that there are good people out there outside our immediate family/friends that really CARE about what hes dealing with right now.

He called me late last night to ask me to thank you all again. That was the 1st time I've talked to him on the phone since this accident where he has sounded happy & upbeat.
He told me to tell you he is sorry he didn't say much as he was getting very emotional about the whole ordeal at the moment & didn't want to break down in front of a group / TV camera by trying to talk.

Fallen Riders also gave me al reason /cause to saddle up again too. That was the 1st. ride I've taken since this happened. For me, that ride & future rides with your group will always be in memory of him. That ride yesterday gave me that personal kind of special closure I really needed that I would not have got at his funeral tomorrow. Thank you!

My brother rode a 2008 Yamaha Raider. They're a new model / 113 C.I. V-twin factory custom cruiser with a fatty rear tire & sweeper pipes. Sweet / strong / good look-n & handling ride. He had a hard time kick-n my butt off his bike once I got on it. The last time I saw / spent time with my brother was a country ride with him & my son.

I'd be more than glad to help out /get more involved in your orgs cause in any way I can, so let me know.

Thanks again from all my family,

Walt Gunter
