Getting to know your Eastside HOG Board: 20 Questions with Micki Brown 1) Give us some personal information about yourself: What president was in office when you were born? Umm... I was too young to read and my folks were too poor for a radio. Where were you born/raised? Bainbridge, GA - Proud to be known as a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl Raised In The South). Went to school in Albany, GA and Orlando, FL. How would friends in high school describe you? Quiet and shy... yeah, right! Where do or did you work? Am proud to publish the fact that April Fool's Day, 2005 I retired after 23 years with Boeing (10 years as on contract; 13 "on the books"). Before that primarily in the legal environment as a word processing manager and later, legal administration at Boeing. I entered the legal environment via word processing as a support rep. Family: one unique daughter and great son-in-law, twin awesome granddaughters who are freshmen at Hazen High School. 2) Give us your Favorites Movie: Play Misty For Me Bike Movie: Are there any good ones? Book: How about authors instead... that'd be JRRTolkien, Michener, Clancey, Cussler Clavell, Hiassen, Nevada Barr... avid reader. Vacation Spot: Used to be Puerto Vallara, Mexico, but it's too sophisticated. Guess it'd be just about anywhere except high desert when it's too hot and too dry. Our USA is so beautiful we can afford to be whimsical! Actor: Lead actor in Play Misty For Me, Clint Eastwood. Food Dish: Coffee yogurt with sliced almonds and chocolate syrup Athlete: Dan Wilson, past catcher for the Mariners. Sport: Baseball (mostly just the Mariners though). Musician: Johnny Mathis (Cont.) Song: Old favs are Let It Be by the Beatles, Norma Jean by Elton, but today it's most any CW music that KMPS plays. TV Show: TV mystery series like the CSI series, NCIS and, of course, Survivor! TV Bike Show: You're kidding, right? Day of the week: If it's a beautiful morning, that's the day. Being retired, we get weekends every day! 3) If you could have a life mulligan (do over) what would it be ? Marry Ron 1st. 4) What model was your first Harley? Didn't have a H-D; it was a Honda. 5) Why Harley and not another motorcycle brand. We've had other "brands", but the Harley family gives Ron and I what we're looking for: companions to ride with. We've made so many friends via HOG, that it's hard to imagine who we'd be hanging with today without the experience. Like anything else that's expensive, it's worth the cost to go 1st Class! 6) Of all the rides you've taken, which one stands out the most and why? The 1st trip to Yellowstone -- awesome friends to ride with and the weather and scenery were incredibly great!. 7) What one ride do you want to take before you lower your kick stand for the last time? Any ride with Ron. He's the reason I ride. 8) What ride do you look forward to every year and why? The MS-150 that Karen Penewell heads up. She's so totally awesome at this -- and a great gal to boot! 9) What Harley model would you buy next and why? If it's up to me, we'd keep the RK we now have, but sooner or later the bug will definitely bite Ron again. Then we'll be debating on the horrid colors (orange, turquoise, etc.) that he can get a screaming deal on. I'd love to get a light blue one though with some nice pin striping. 20Q With Board Member Micki Brown Membership Officer
