Michael Alvey threw quite a meeting last night in Ft.Worth.. The Chapter always has a decent turnout, but for some reason, the crowd who attended last night was more than lively.. After the first few minutes of discussing the old business and such, the meeting turned into a round robin discussion of most everything that was on anyone's mind.. Kind of the centerpiece of discussion was the Dawgs on Hawgs rally in Somervilled.. Sputnik has obviously been in close contact with all the parties and is interested in TMRA II participating in the resolution of the problems caused by the DPS ambush of DoH members as they left the park by the lake.. One of the issues was the young woman who was forced to strip alongside the road.. That one seemed to create more outrage than anything else that was done.. Even though, most of the citations seemed to be "legitimate", there really wasn't a reason for DPS to target the rally as they did..Sputnik is negotiating with DPS to resolve the matter to everyone's satisfaction.. Should be more, forthcoming in the next few days... It was a perfect night to air the bikes out just a little, so after the meeting, we did just that.. Your friend in Irving Bill Walker
