Hi
My Dad, Bill Ford used to belong to the club back in the late forties, early fifties, not sure about the dates.  He was an officer of the club at one point.  We'd like to send along some pictures that we came across that were taken in the early years.  If you can use them you are more than welcome to use them in your history that you are putting together on the web.  I remember the clambakes that we used to have in the summertime at the Skippack clubhouse.  Also the cross country runs that Dad used to run in with Stan Meyers.  Does anybody recall Bill Ford or his brother Joe Ford?  I remember Bill Reiff used to come over at Christmastime and set up our train set for us when Dad was in the Navy.  We ran across the website and glad to see the club is still going strong.  We'd like to get back there someday to see the clubhouse and maybe meet some of the current members and see the early pictures in the clubhouse.  We moved to Arizona in 1956 and both my Dad and Joe Ford have passed on.  I rode bikes for many years, street riding and racing in Arizona.  Dad rode Indians when in the club and at that time the club was mostly made up of Indians.  We enjoyed the events put on by the club and the dirt track racing at Hatfield Speedway.
 
I'd like to hear from anyone, sons or daughters, of the early club members.
