David and family, I never got to know John that well but I was honored to get to know a little of him during the Biker bashes you held in Lawton, I was glad I did capture some of the moments with camera in hand, they were truly good times and this is what moments that seem to out shine the brightest stars in our lives, and I thank you for letting me be apart of those times.
