Box 61885, North Charleston, SC 29419 843-847-1444 [email protected] From your Chapter Directors Wow, May have been a real busy month. So many things, and so little time. So, here is a quick summary and recap. If you are interested. We started off the month with an awesome SC District Rally in Newberry, SC. A huge thank you to all the District Dream Team for all their efforts. Great rides, great facilities, lot’s of activities and lot’s of fun. We had 16 members attend over the three days. Some could not stay all three days for personal reasons, and that is ok. Our Chapter Banner took first place. Our Chapter Challenge did not fair so well, but we want to thank Anita Fender and Gloria Servant, and the many others, who contributed to a fine challenge. I would like to thank each of you, who helped out with helping to run some of the tables. Without your help, I would have spent all my time behind a table, so thank you. And for those who participated in the games challenge. What a blast. We had Sherri & Michael Pawlak, helping Anne and me trying to be the fastest in the chapter game challenge. Thank you to Joe & Carol for the pictures. And next year, we get to try out the Opera House again the last weekend in April, so reserve the dates on your calendar now. Then we had our first Meet to Eat for the month at Donatos Pizza in Summerville. Great turnout with 18 people there, and lot’s of great food. Then we rolled into the Saturday routine, with the Education Seminar followed by the Chapter Gathering. Again, a great turnout with 12 people for the seminar, and 28 people for the gathering. Our seminar this month, we talked about Helmet Myths, with demo’s of the many types of helmets. For the gathering, we had two visitors this month, but, we did see one of our members who came to the first chapter gathering. Welcome to the chapter Kevin. We hope to see you back. (Continued on page 3) 2 From your Chapter Director (Continued) (Continued from page 2) Following the gathering, we took a mystery ride to one of the Chapter Challenge locations. We had a nice ride down to Riverfront Park, in North Charleston where we saw some of the history of Charleston Ports, and had a cool breeze blowing across our faces. Nice short ride, but the scenery was awesome. Then the following week, we had our Team Meeting with a great turnout for it. Several things were discussed, to include the upcoming Augusta, GA trip in October, and maybe a mountain trip in September. Sadly enough, the following Saturday Chapter Maintenance day had to be postponed. Weather was not our friend, and then we started loosing folks that would normally help out, so we have rescheduled it for June 9th. The next event was our next Meet to Eat at St. James Place in Goose Creek. Another great turnout and lot’s of fun. Then came the big event for the month, our first Progressive Lunch Ride. With 21 people signing up for the fun, it was some great rides and great food. Thanks to our three mystery hosts for supporting this and welcoming us into their homes. There was some awesome vittles served up at all three locations. Those who couldn’t make it, you were missed, but plan to attend our next one… maybe in the fall. Our last event will most likely happen after we complete this newsletter, but we are going to Baskin Robbins to help them “Celebrate 31”. We hope to be able to enjoy some fine ice cream. I mentioned at the last Chapter Gathering, about the N.12, GWRRA Emergency Information Form. This form is available online, or, if you email me, I will be glad to send it to you. The one I have is a PDF Fillable version, so you can type your info in and save it, allowing you the ability to come back later and make changes, updates, and reprint. It is recommended you keep two copies on your Gold Wing. One in the front left pocket (it doesn’t lock) and the trunk. In case of an accident, one of these should remain intact, and if people know you have it, they can assist First Responders to get it for them. The last thing I want to talk about this month, is the holiday season. We are coming off of Memorial Day Weekend, where we plan to setup a Motorist Awareness table, serve coffee and other refreshments, at the Orangeburg East Bound I-26 rest area. Chapter R will be joining us. We would love to have as many of you who can offer a little bit of time, to help serve refreshments and hand out Motorist Awareness flyers. So come on out and join us, and let’s make our bikes visible at the rest area, and show off our machines. And with that, that’s a wrap for this month. Until next time, ride safe, ride often, and be thankful, Mike Melton 3 Assistant Chapter Directors George & Gloria Servant George - 508-868-7217 Gloria - 508-345-5228 email - [email protected] American Red Cross First Aid Kits Most of us have taken basic First Aid courses and a few have taken CPR training as well, maybe at work or as part of the GWRRA Levels Program. Do you have a First Aid kit in your homes? In your vehicles? On your bikes/trikes? You never know when a situation arises or where you will be, maybe far from a cell signal or ability for EMS to respond quickly. We recently added a Red Cross Family First Aid Kit to our RV. What we found was a very well stocked, organized pouch with clear pocket pages and instructions. It starts with 115 pieces, from medicines, antiseptics, bandages, dressings and other injury treatment supplies. It also includes gloves, scissors, tweezers, thermometers, emergency blanket and a First Aid Guide. It is suggested that you incorporate any additional items you feel would be helpful, maybe an Epi pen or Benadryl. These, and other kits are available on the Red Cross Store website. This kit is $29 plus shipping. Whatever you decide, get a Kit, make a Plan and be Informed. Be prepared and stay safe. Submitted by George and Gloria Servant 4 Membership Enhancement Sherri & Mike Pawlak email - [email protected] Welcome our New MEC Team Members Please join me in welcoming our newest Chapter “G” team members, Sherri & Mike Pawlak. Sherri and Mike have been members of GWRRA for a couple of years now and when they weren’t traveling for work, they’ve been active participants in chapter rides and events. Sherri has been teaching our CPR/First Aid classes and Mike has shared his electrical talents at maintenance days. We are looking forward to seeing more of them at upcoming events and activities. A little bit about them... Sherri & Mike ride a 2015 Silver Gold Wing that they have managed to put 20K miles on since 2015, when they upgraded from a Kawasaki Vulcan 900. Mike started riding motorcycles around 1980 and has continued to ride off and on over the years. Riding is a family activity and it was their son who encouraged them to get back into riding after their last hiatus. They are also members of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association.

  • Family of ANTOINE * DE L'aigle - Lord De La Montagne
    Family of ANTOINE * DE L'AIGLE - Lord de la Montagne First Generation 1. ANTOINE * DE L'AIGLE Lord de la Montagne was born about 1450. History of Saintonge The name of Saintonge comes from Latin Santonia, which was used to designate the area inhabited by the tribe of Santones. Their capital city, Mediolanum Santonum, now Saintes, was an important city in the Roman times. The amphitheater and the votive arch, built on the bridge over the river Charente in year 19 by Caius Julius Rufus as a tribute to Germanicus, Tiber and Drusus, are the most important remains of the Roman city. The city was still important when the Roman Empire collapsed, and was celebrated by the local poet Ausonius (c. 310 - c. 395), appointed count and consul by emperor Gratian. In the Middle Ages, Saintonge had no specific administrative status. The area was divided in small domains for which the count of Poitou and the duke of Aquitaine competed. In the XIII-XIVth centuries, the north of Saintonge was part of the Capetian royal domain, whereas the south was part of the Plantagenet Anglo-Normand kingdom. In 1204, Saintonge was among John Lackland's domains which were confiscated by king of France Phillipe-Auguste, who could keep only the Upper Saintonge. In 1259, Louis IX (St. Louis) ceded to king of England Henry III the duchy of Guyenne, which included Saintonge. In 1360, by the treaty of Brétigny, Saintonge was incorporated with Aquitaine, Aunis and Angoumois to the kingdom of England. Reconquered by constable Duguesclin in 1371, Saintonge was definitively incorporated to the kingdom of France by Charles V in 1375.

Dr. LeAnn Caldwell: Well, I’m LeAnn Caldwell, I have been a professor at this university since 1991, with the exception of six years when I chaired the history and geography department at Georgia College and State University which is the public liberal arts university of the state and then I came back here in 2008 and had been here since running the center for Georgia history, and since our merger um, also serving as the university historian. Prior to that in the 1980’s I taught at Paine College for eleven years, which is a historically Black college here in Augusta that was found in the 1880’s in the post-Civil War period by bi-racial Methodist churches, southerners, which is interesting in itself, because most of the African American colleges had been founded by Northerners, but these were Black and White Methodist who came together to found Paine and that was a wonderful teaching experience as well. So, I’ve been in education basically my entire adult life. Um, I got a master’s and doctorate degree in history at the University of Georgia and so that’s the content area that I have focused in and I have increasingly focused my research down to state and local history. I have become one of those people that get called on by lay people in the community who are not historical scholars, but need help learning about our past.

  • The Hornet's Nest Newsletter of the GEORGIA SOCIETY
    PageNewsletter 1 of TheThe Georgia Hornet’s Nest Society January—March 2018 The January—March 2018 The President’s Dispatch Two weeks after my installation as President of the Georgia Society, we celebrated the 239th Anniversary of the Battle of Kettle Creek. Secretary General Warren Alter and his wife Nancy honored us with their presence at the Kettle Creek Battlefield Association Banquet Fri- day evening. Secretary General Alter and I brought “Greetings”. Saturday morning, the Georgia Society Combined Color Guard with Militia Firing Unit raised the Colors at the Wilkes County Court House to begin this year’s celebration. The Color Guard with participants from nearby South Atlantic District states provided a splendid perfor- mance under the command of Bill Palmer. Next, South Atlantic District Vice President Gen- eral James Wood, Secretary General Warren Alter and I led the parade around Washington square. This year the Washington-Wilkes High School marching band provided music to the pleas- ure of parade participants and the viewing public. Following the parade, the skirmish took place at Washington Park with the Patriots victorious over the British-led Tories. Because threatening weather was forecast for Saturday afternoon, the War Hill event was transferred to the Pope Center in downtown Washington. Color Guard members again provided timely help in removing the Friday night banquet tables, rearranging chairs and setting up more than 80 wreaths in a very short time. Secretary General Warren Alter was the keynote speaker, the Greene County High School Air Force JROTC unit provided the saber salute for the wreath presentation and the Georgia Society C.A.R.
