Tackett I wondered where you were. There was a good turn out and it went very well. To the person asking about the children, they are doing wonderful and appreciate all that the bike community has done for them. Thanks to everyone that has supported them and the community in Chuck and Denise's honor. That is a day in my life that I will never forget and appreciate those who have helped me forget that day but also remember the wonderful and caring people that Chuck and Denise were. Peg

I was a Volunteer Firefighter at Westwood back when Chuck was a 'Junior Fireman'. I also knew his wife as daughter of another fireman in Summit. I am glad that their lives are being remembered and hope that Chuck and Denise's kids are doing well also. God Bless Everyone..!!
