I hope this message finds everyone healthy, wealthy and wise! Vacation was fun but it is always great to get back home. Let s all work to increase our club membership this year and as usual let us be about Safety, Knowledge and Fun as a club. Safety = let us continue to see each other each month! Knowledge = how much do you know about your fellow club members? Do you know their spouse, their children, their likes or their hobbies? Fun = do you participate or have ideas to share? Tell us about your activities in the community; where do you work; what other organizations do you enjoy. Try to sit next to someone you haven t been able to visit with lately. Do you have a hobby or talent we don t know about? We are a social organization, look for the good in those around you. We have a very great group of members as our motorcycle family. Have a great day and we will see you on February 9 th at our next gathering! Glenn & Judy Tyler Chapter A GWRRA Top Wings

HISTORY OF THE HONDA GOLDWING Page 10 A several-months-long, on-going article about the history of the machine that gives our club it s name. The one-millionth Honda motorcycle made in America rolls off the Marysville assembly line. Appropriately enough, the millionth model is a Gold Wing; this commemoration is altogether fitting, since the success of the Gold Wing and that of Honda in America are inextricably intertwined.
