COMMUNICATIONS
FROM OUR CAPTAIN BOB
SIDES ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH 2008
Greetings Nobles,
the last parade of the season (at least as far as we know now), is Saturday AM,
Norfolk. Step off at 10 AM means an early start. I am going to be leaving from
Branched Oak as we will be camping with the Covered Wagons. Please let me know
if you will be able to participate and we can set up a meeting point in David
City or Columbus for breakfast.
Planning meeting @ Shrine Center, Monday night, 7PM, Sept 29 with the
Corvettes. Need to review and make sure we have everything ready since this
will be our first BBQ in the new center. Monday night football will be on and I
have received permission to open the bar. Bring your ladies also.
Remember that we need to be finding some raffle items for the BBQ. Harry Lipert
is planning to again donate a week of his condo in Arizona.. Don't expect any
other items to be that big but hope to have a lot of smaller ones.
Let me know if you need any more tickets. Still have more available.

Greetings all,
upcoming events needing our attention:
1) Weds April 9 (tonight) Shrine Stated meeting. Harleys are selling
the 50/50 tickets. We have several volunteers already however the more we

tickets. Good income for the unit as we keep the 50% not given away.
2) Friday April 11 Deadline for ordering onions. Please turn
your orders in to myself by Weds eve or preferably turn them in to the office
as I will be leaving town early Thursday AM. Unit still gets $1/bag and
Sesostris still making money off each bag. Keep selling.

Greetings,
Seven Harley members braved the elements (well a little bit of cold) this
afternoon to ride escort for Wilma who will be dearly missed. They were Al P.,
Roger, Rick, Jim T. John J., Eldon and myself. For those of you who were unable
to attend the reception afterwards, too bad. They had ice cream bars that made
great handwarmers.
Gary Hahn expressed his appreciation afterward and commented that he knew Wilma
was watching and very pleased. The only thing she would have preferred would
have been riding with one of us instead of in the hearse.
I was at a meeting this evening with Ill. Sir Mark and he asked that I pass on
his appreciation for our representation. He also mentioned our participation
during his remarks at the meeting.
Thanks again.

SIDES ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY,20TH, 2008
Greetings fellow riders,
per the previous communication, we are going to need to get posters out this
Saturday.
Unlike the previous communication, our breakfast meeting place will be the
Golden Corral on North 27th. It is in the parking lot of the old Payless
Cashway, Rod Kush, whatever. West side of 27th between LES and Applebees. Let
them know you are with the Shriner group. We will share a room with the Covered
Wagons. Last month, we were in the southeast corner of the building. Assuming
same location. Last month we received an Early Bird pricing of $5.59 for the
full buffet. Assuming it will still be the same. Lot of assumptions.
Hope to see you there. If we arrive to eat by 8:15, I think we should be ready
to hit the streets by 9AM. If you don't plan to eat but will be able to help,
let me know so we don't leave without you.
Later,
Bob

SIDES ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 14TH, 2008
Fellow Harlyians,
time is running short. Show starts tomorrow. Hope to see all of you there at
least part of the time whether you have your bike there or not.
Let's plan on going to the Legends (84th and Holdrege) after the show on
Saturday, before Zeke's party. I will try to get a head count to them to get a
few tables reserved. If you can join us, let me know. Just don't use e-mail
after midnight Friday night and expect me to get it on Saturday.
Mark your calendar for Saturday morning, February 23. Village Inn, 27th and
Cornhusker, breakfast @ 8 AM. I have a whole bunch of circus posters that we
need to distribute after breakfast. Same area as in the past. North of
Cornhusker, NW 48th to 84th street. I will have a bunch with me this week-end
for anyone that wants to get a headstart on getting some out during the week.
Remember, Harley meeting at the Shrine Center Monday, Feb 18.
Try to stay warm and give your sweetheart a Valentine's kiss for me.

Dick, Bob, Pete, Doug. Questionable were Ed and John. Others mentioned were
Charley and Al B. How about others? Coming to mind are Tom K, Tom K, Jimbo,

3) The Sesostris Clowns have been asked to help again this year. We had an
excellent turnout last year and it really helps. I have had a request from one
of the clowns that we have more Motor Corps members there

preparation time and need relief help during the show hours. Please plan to
spend some time in the display area helping with selling raffle tickets,
answering questions, being visible. Please wear a Shrine shirt while at the

Nobles,
I haven't seen mention of this so, even though it is not current
news...
The motorcycle unit from Aleppo intended to send out an eight
man team to compete at Anaheim. One member, riding cross country,
had a minor accident enroute. He is fine.
However, a far greater problem occurred while in Anaheim. One
other member of the team, Noble Steven Bissette, suffered a massive
(and fatal) heart attack on July 1 in Anaheim. Noble Bissette,
besides being a member of the motorcycle drill team, was also
2nd Ceremonial Master at Aleppo.
The Aleppo motorcycle team competed as a six man team, in Steve's
honor and memory, and did as well as can be expected, bringing
in a few trophies.

FROM OUR
PRESIDENT BOB SIDES ON JUNE 30TH, 2007
Greetings from MMCI and
Sesostris Harleys and ......
Just finished mowing and decided it was a good time to get out a very, very past
due update on some July events coming up.
First,
ABU
BEKR SHRINE MOTORCYCLE FIELD DAY in Sioux City next Sunday, July 8. This
will be held at the Lewis and Clark ball park parking lot (exit 143). Schedule
is for obstacle course events and they will also have a demo field if any unit
wants to show their drill. The obstacle course will be the Imperial standard
course and there will be some prizes for different classes. This is scheduled
to start at 11:30 AM and there will also be some guided rides in the Loess Hills
if anyone is interested in doing that instead. Plan to meet at the Shrine
Temple at 2 PM for lunch and refreshments with the Potentate doing the
grilling.
There are a few planning to ride up from Lincoln. We plan to leave from 84th
and Cornhusker HWY at 8:30 AM and would like to meet anyone from Omaha or ??
along the way. Plan to take 680 around Omaha to I29.
Please let me know who is planning to go and where you would like to meet and we
will coordinate the time. I would like to have a head count by Tuesday so I can
give them an idea of how many will be coming. (remember to invite your lady
also).
Second,
I have received the following message from WB Stephen Kennedy regarding the ride
they have planned for Saturday 7/14. There were 5 of us that attended from
Lincoln last year and had a very good time. (The fact that I somehow won the
top hand might have added to my enjoyment) A very scenic route, good company
and a good cause. Please read through Stephen's message and see if this is
something you can get added to your busy calendar.
The ride is scheduled to
start @ 11 AM. Lincoln riders will leave from McDonalds ,
56th and HWY
2 @ 8:45 AM. Anyone else wishing to ride, please plan to meet us in Auburn
between 10 and 11 AM. It is official that our Poker run will be July
14th on the second Saturday of
July. We will ride for the group called, Troop Support for Iraqi Freedom. This
is a parental group that sends care packages and such to Nebraska units over
seas. All funds, no operating costs by us or this group, will be used to
purchase or send items to the troops associated with the National Guard units
from Nebraska. By ourselves we couldn't send items to local personnel, but the
parental group has been sanctioned by the military and has access to addresses
and such.
The lady from Weeping Water is quite enthused by our wanting to do this. We have
some local parents and spouses that belong to this group and feel that
everything we raise will have a direct benefit.
If your group can participate it would be great. We also are going to include
the Patriot Guard, of which several of us are members, in this event and hope to
make it much bigger then last year.
W. B. Stephen
Third,
I believe the 14th is also the scheduled date for the Tangier Motor B poker
run. Maybe someone there can respond to all with details for anyone wishing to
do that ride.
Fourth,
I am going to be sending 2007 dues money to MMCI International in a couple
weeks. At the present time, I have collected dues from Chris Christiansen, Al
Petersen, Andy Lasenieks, Roger Miner, Robert Herbolsheimer

like to make a motion
that we do. $25 for the player including family and $10 per person for

Mark your
calendars for Sunday July 8th. Per the information discussed at the last couple
meetings, we have been invited to motor up to Sioux City and play with the
Nobles there. They will have an obstacle course set up for all who want to
ride and will also have a field set up for anyone who wants to display their
drills. Since we haven't been practicing yet, I doubt if we would feel
comfortable with that portion. Please let me know if you are interested in
going so I can give them an idea on how many hamburgers to buy. Plans would be
to leave Lincoln ~ 8:30AM and would be back in town ~ 6 - 8 PM depending upon
where we would stop for supper. Ladies of course are welcome.”
Hi Bob – I received notice the
location has changed – new location is the Lewis & Clark Ball Park parking lot
which is located on the south edge of Sioux City. I-29 to the Singing Hills
exit (exit 143) and go to the second traffic light, which will be Stadium
Drive. Turn north and go straight into the park.

Greetings,
I have only had three replies, all being regrets on not
being able to participate on Saturday. Janet and I are still planning to go.
We believe there is at least one other couple from Lincoln that will be
going.
Lincoln riders, we will leave from Phillips 66 station, 84th
and HWY 6 (Cornhusker Hwy) at 11:30 AM and meet Omaha riders at Mama's Pizza.
I don't have the address but Herby says on Saddle Creek, just north of Dodge.
Plan to be there 12:30 and then on to Joslyn after lunch.
Please let me know if you think you will be attending. I
know the weather forecast isn't the best but ???.
If you are unable to attend, I would still recommend that
you try to get to this exhibit before it is gone.

Fellow Harleyians
For those of you who were able
to attend the open house last night and talk with fellow Nobles, you probably
have more questions than you went there with. The only way to separate rumors
from fact is to attend the Stated Meeting tonight, ask questions, listen
carefully and evaluate the options we need to consider. We all want the same
thing – to give Sesostris an opportunity to grow and thrive – VOTE !
Hope to see you tonight!
Pete
PS – I’ll need help @ the 50/50
ticket table tonight – I’m anticipating a large crowd. Who can help me? -
Thanks
Fellow Harleyians
Better late than
never !!!
Tonight we can
preview the proposed new site for the Shrine Center. It’s located just North
of the Hiway 77 and Saltillo Road. There will be hamburgers & drink while
you check out the opportunity we have !!

It is with a heavy heart that I have to send out this email.
We lost a
loved and respected fellow Noble and Harley member last night with the
passing of Al Neeman. He died while in attendance @ the annual Jester's
Christmas party. He is an organ donor and anyone who knew Al would not be
surprised at this. He was a very generous and considerate person who always
wanted to do the right thing. As a result of knowing Al and being
associated with him, we are all a better person.
Funeral services are obviously pending at this point, but I will try to keep
you abreast of the plans. I will be out of town tomorrow and Friday, but
will keep in touch.
Pete
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Judy and Lance and the
rest of the Neeman Family. May our great Architect of the Universe be with you
and comfort you in this time of sorrow.

Gentlemen (and Borchardt)
First of all, be sure to get your tickets and money turned into
me ASAP. All of the raffle tickets for Harry's condo will need
to be turned into me no later than 5:00 tomorrow night, so we can insure all of
the sold tickets are in the drawing. I would prefer to receive them earlier,
but time is running short. I will be at the Shrine Center tomorrow afternoon
about 2:30 or 3:00. The Harley's will be keeping 100% of the raffle money
generated from the ticket sales (less 1/2 of the printing expense) so let's make
a last minute push to presell these.
We also need help at the BBQ---We will be setting up on Friday afternoon with
the BBQ starting @ 5:00. Dress will be our parade shirts or a Sesostris shirt
with black pants. Those who will be working in the kitchen----wear what you
want! We will need help with keeping glasses full of water and tea, cleaning
off the tables, clean up after the BBQ is over, etc.
We are anticipating a good crowd with approx 350 tickets sold. With everyone's
help it will be a good time and a good money raiser for our unit. SOOOOOOOO -
unless you get a better offer, come on out to the SC and enjoy your friends and
fellow "Harleyians" ! With 300#'s of ribs and
300#'s loin (brisket!!) to get rid of, how could we not have a good time!
See you tomorrow night.
Many Thanks
Pete
Good Morning
A few of us will be meeting tonite with the Corvette representatives to put
the final plans together for the BBQ. I'm trying to get a feel for how many
tickets have been pre-sold. If you'd reply to this email with how many you
have sold, I would be very appreciative!
Thanks

Just received a call from Jeff and they have moved the
wedding to Hillcrest

weather coming in!!! (I don't think this was Jeff's decision, because I'm
sure a little rain, wind and hail wouldn't stop him from taking a little
ride!)

Good day Nobles,
just a quick note.
1. To riders, don't forget to take a white shirt for the parade. I will
be taking both short and long sleeve. Would prefer the short sleeve but am
open to which ever.
2. To all, I spoke last night with a friend who moved to St. Charles
several years ago and still commutes back and forth about once a month. He
had just gotten home from Lincoln at the time we talked. His route
recommendation is 36 east out of St. Joseph to Hannibal and then south on 61
to I-70. Said he did it in 6.5 hours yesterday. I would guess that
was minimal stops and moving right along howevert MapQuest says 7 hours, 10
minutes and 430 miles to the motel. I think he said there is either 30 or 60
miles of two lane on 36 but he said this is a much more relaxing route than
taking 70 from KC to St. Louis.
Anyway, select the route you feel most comfortable with. Ride/drive safe
and we will see you there.
From Jeff Douglass on Sunday, August
27th, 2006
Here we go, on Sept. 9th

8:00 pm at 2641 Winchester South in Lincoln. A "Slumber Party" will be
starting at 8:00, then at about 9:30 a bus will pick us up to go "out on the
town". We will be meeting the guys at 12:00 at the Silver Spoke. The bus
will bring anyone back to the house at 1:00. We are asking for all who ride
the bus to chip in $10 to help cover the cost. No outside gifts for the
slumber party.
Any questions call Jeff at 402-217-3518
And for the guys we will have live entertainment at the
spoke.
Bob please forward this to all ALR members and get back with me on numbers of
who are coming.

Just a short note regarding Saturday.
Six of us met at Metcalf Funeral Home and escorted Lloyd to Valpraiso.
Jean expressed her appreciation and remarked that Lloyd would have really
appreciated it.
Escort riders were Tom Fischer leading, followed by Bob Sides, Rick Harris,
John Jacobs, Dutch Buettgenbach and Tom Kennedy. Roger Miner joined us in
Valparaiso. Following a few cups of coffee at one of Lloyd's coffee hangouts
in Val, we joined a large number of Lloyd's freinds standing outside the
church listening to the service (including the Masonic service) on an outside
speaker. Breeze in the shade wasn't too bad. Following the church services,
we rode escort on the hearse while following the Val Fire Dept fire truck.
Military rites were given at the cemetery.
Thank you to all the riders that were able to make the trip. It was an
impressive morning. There were also a number of other Harley 74 riders at the
services along with other Sesostris members and their ladies.

RE: Fairbury Parade July 4th.
Last year the Iron Nobles, Harleys and Cruisin Classics all met @

This year we can do the same thing, meeting @ Shoemakers @ 8:00, leaving no
later than 8:30. Parade is @ 11:00 so we should make it in good shape.

ride in with Rick is more than welcome to "show up" We need to be at the gate
entrance by 6:00. You can either stay for the game or leave following the

stay for the game, you can purchase tickets for Gen. Admin @ $5, Upper
Reserved @ $8 and lower reserved for $10. Call Will McGuffy @ 441-4182 to
