    JW - Pictures sent Thursday 8/28 - Let me know if you need them again. I spoke with Tim's mom, Rosemarie, Friday night. She was really touched by the obvious friendships that Tim had with this group. Thanks for all of your efforts to bring this web-site to life. Patti

    Who is riding down to TWN Memorial ride

    Holiday Inn seems to be the most popular spot. I'll check tomorrow to see if I can increase the number of rooms. PS. It's Santa Babs/Goleta, the bar closes at 9:00 PM - that's why Zodo's has been reservied for Saturday p.m. (Bar open 'til 12:00). I'll post update Sunday. PJK
