BMX Legends : In March, 2006, what started out to be a small backyard BBQ get together for old time BMX riders, turned into, (as Bob Osborn said), "a once in a lifetime event". Gary Haselhorst, the organizer of the event, contacted a few old BMX riders and invited them to his home for the party. As word spread about the this party, people started telling people and before you knew it, the party had to be moved to a rented hall. At the event 5 riders were honored for their part in making BMX what it is today. They called this the "Legends of BMX" award Riders receiving this honor were, David Clinton, Stu Thompson, Brent Patterson, Greg Hill and Greg Esser. Many thanks to Gary for putting this great event together.

Black Cuisine Festival : On Saturday March 4, 2006 the Black Cuisine Festival was held in the Bayview Hunters Point district of San Francisco. Music, food and dancing was enjoyed by all. We dined on BBQ and Soul food ( smothered ox tails, turkey legs, fried chicken, links, ribs, greens, black-eyed peas, macaroni and cheese and cornbread) and finished off with the great deserts (sweet potato pie, cobblers and various cakes. This was a day where the locals came for a day of getting together. It appeared several of the people were seeing friends they had not seen for a long time. We need more events like this.

Anthony Sewell Memorial April 18, 2009 : On April 18, 2009, a memorial service was held for Anthony Sewell, "The Panther", at the BMX track in Bellflower, CA. Greg Hill and his wife, Liz, did a great job putting this memorial together Speaking about Anthony and his life, were his childhood friends, relatives and former BMX racers Listening to the stories about his life was very interesting. Stories from his sister, who helped raise Anthony as a child, from his hometown friends who rode BMX bikes with him on the streets of Los Angeles and from the riders that rode against him on BMX tracks all around the country Everyone said that Anthony was always a mild mannered gentleman who competed hard but was always fair, and a gentleman on and off the track. Unfortunately, I had to leave early to catch a plane and was not able to hear the remaining speakers. I also would have liked to get a few more pictures. I hope these pictures will give you an idea of the memorial. Anthony, may you Rest in Peace
