Thanks for the post. I lived in Morgantown and was living there for 9-11 and until 2003. Sad days. I can't say that I knew him but I went into the bike shop there along the bike path. More than likely I ran into him or was even waited on by him but I honestly can't say yes or no to that. You know how it is...people enter and leave our lives like bus boys in a restaurant.

After he was killed, I tried to get the bike trail running from Morgantown to Kingwood renamed in his honor. Not being politically savy, I didn't have much success. When I left the state, I talked to Dr Whalen about it but never really had the contacts to make it happen. Sent some letters to the state senators and stuff but I guess they were too busy doing their in fighting crap to care. Last I heard they did list one mile of the trail in his honor. What a bunch of bull. They should have named every school in the state for him instead of senator byrd.

I was planning on putting on the back of my deuce a tribute to him. As soon as I can raise some cash to make it happen, I plan to have it painted on. I am concerned some SF guy might take offense to a non-former SF'er having such a tribute. Some can be touchy about such things. I'm too old to get my butt kicked, I hurt too much the next day. Probably too slow to run away either LOL.

Anyway was thinking about putting on there
