[RC] Hasumi - Kathie FordI have to make a quick comment on Hasumi.I've watched him for the last few years and he totally intrigues me. Last year I stayed at the finish with a few others till every last rider came thru. When I saw him I just had to really smile as he looked very serious during his victory lap until he crossed under the banner and crossed the chalk line. Then he had a huge smile and was bowing. My impression was what an honorable gentleman he must be. So this year, at the banquet I saw something even more heartwarming in regards to him and I truly appreciated it as an American. There in one of the photo booths set up was a photo, an 8 x 10 of Hasumi. It was a beautiful photo but what jumped out at me was he had our American Flag on his helmet and he was dressed in our nations colors, Red, White and Blue. Another huge smile on his face. It warmed me as am American because he honored our own Country with respect and enthusiasm! I just loved it! I only hope that when our American riders travel abroad that they too Honor the countries they are visiting/riding in in the same way! I thought it was just wonderful! That photo should be on a magazine cover! It really moved me! kathie _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face.
