PIF2007 was held in Saint Peter Minnesota, June 29, 30, July 1
Wes Quick took charge of this year's PIF, with many helpers from Minnesota.
You can contact Wes here.
There is no 1 set of rules that determines who will be a PIF recipient. Instead, there are many ideas. In Wes's speech, he lays out a very nice explanation. Another nice addition we got from Wes is a short story called, What Is A Vet. Since we were privileged enough to have a WWII Vet for our recipient this year, an old salt, and fellow rider, Al Sears, sent up something special. Please take a minute and read each of these.
Of course, there can't be a documented event without some pictures. There were a lot of pictures to choose from thanks to Wes Quick, Bill Shepard, Archie Archuleta, and Phil Jungles. Below are just some of many photo's.
There were 54 people in attendance, plus a lot more that came after the Presentation with us back to the Fairgrounds from Ruttles where we did the presentation. There was 10 States represented. "Bud" our recipient rode back to the fairgrounds on the back of Joe Austin's Trike and had a smile from ear to ear.
