We got home about 6:45 pm after riding a total of 984 miles in 2 days. We had a fabulous time in the 2 weeks we were gone and got to see some relatives we had not seen for a while, but the real fun began in West Virginia. We rode some great rides led by Skid. On one of them we did not have to put our feet on the ground until an hour and a half after we left his house. That means no stop signs or other traffic signals, just curve after curve. Skid and Leslie were the perfect hosts and my wife really enjoyed meeting them and spending quality time with them. She also enjoyed meeting everyone else as she has listened to me talk about many of them for the past several years. She thought it was cool that many of the wifes participate on the site just as the men, even though she is too busy taking care of me to ge on it. I enjoyed meeting all of the people I did not know from the past even though most of them were from the north. We were the only deep southerners there. Skid we saw the white mountain goat on the way out and almost had a deer run into our bike at the first light after the New Gorge Bridge but he turned and ran paralel to the road just in time. Thanks to both you and Leslie for the good times and I wish you both all the best with the new baby. We Hope to see ya'll in the future. Love Lyle and Pam

I just wanted to say thank you for putting on such a great get together this weekend. Ron and I enjoyed meeting everybody. Thank you for allowing us the camping spot, too. We really loved West Virginia. We plan to come back to explore more of your beautiful state. Special thanks to Leslie for all the extra efforts she took on during this event. We are sorry we did not get to try her " stone soup" on Saturday. We ran into some really bad weather coming home. The good news is we met a bunch of really nice people along the way. We did not get home until 4:30 AM Sunday Morning. Thanks again, Peggy & Ron

I'm home alone tonight so I looked in the freezer to see what was in there and I swear we could eat for a year without shopping. I found a few meat pies (Tourtière) that Leslie and I made so I put one in the oven. Boy did that hit the spot and bring back lots of memories too. When my mom died in 1995 Leslie took on the job of baking the meat pies every Christmas. Last year (2006) we made 30. A lot are given to family and friends but I still have a couple left. When they're gone they're gone but I will enjoy every bite and think of the time spent with Leslie stirring the pot while she made the pie shells. I need to look a little more and see if there's any fruit cake left in there...LOL. We made that every Christmas too. I have never had any as good as her's.

I hope I'm not out of line here, but I thought that this story from The Windsor Star would be appreciated. Mike http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/news/story.html?id=fbfd3e0d-8a60-4430-845b-6d0314178e8c Man whose wife died in crash still in ICU Trevor Wilhelm, Windsor Star Published: Monday, November 12, 2007 Nearly a month after the motorcycle crash that killed his wife during a retirement trip, Woodslee's Gary Nantais remains in serious condition in the surgical intensive care unit of an Ohio hospital. The retirement dreams of Leslie Nantais, 54, and her husband Gary, 55, were cut short Oct. 17, when, according to police, a teenager failed to yield at a stop sign and slammed into their motorcycle. The 16-year-old girl who hit them was treated and released from hospital following the accident. Gary, a General Motors employee, and Leslie, a teacher at Essex District high school, had both retired and were living out their dreams riding the open road. The couple, who celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary in September, had stopped in Ohio while on a road trip to Virginia. They were heading east on U.S. Route 62 in Holmes County when a Sunfire ran a stop sign at the intersection of State Road 557 and hit them. The Nantais' sons, Matt and Jeff, have created a website. At memoryofleslie.blogspot.com people can post their thoughts and memories about Leslie. "We felt like we should have a place where everyone can speak about our mom Leslie," the brothers wrote on the website. "She touched many people's lives." The messages come from the Nantais' friends, Leslie's former students and people the couple met only briefly in their travels. "My wife Sam and I met Gary and Leslie only once," wrote Vin Tirelli. "They are truly wonderful people and had a way about them that made everyone who spoke with them walk away with a smile. "To say we are heartbroken about this tragedy would be an understatement." © The Windsor Star 2007

I just received a phone call informing me that Gary and Leslie were in a bike accident down in Ohio. The only detail I have is Leslie didn't make it and that Gary is in the hospital down there ...I'll let you know more as I do. Keep them in you prayers please.

I hope all goes well with you tomorrow as I am sure it will. All the best, and if you can not get on to let us know, maybe Leslie can get on for a minute to let us know how it went. Brad
