2 PA District Directors Harold and Diane Jackson Many of us have been wondering where is summer? I guess summer is here; as I write this article the temperature is 90 degrees. And guess what; summer is on time. The first day of summer is June 21 st. Happy 4 th of July to everyone! The 4 th of July is a celebration and often referred to as Independence Day. Thank you to our military and first responders that keep us safe so, we can enjoy our independence and freedom. We just attended All Chapters West. Thank you, PA-P, for hosting the event and for a job well done. The weekend had a great ride, good food and FUN! Those that attend had time for socializing and were able to sit around campfires. The weather cooperated and we had a dry weekend. For those that did not attend, hopefully, you will consider attending next year s All Chapters West or go to All Chapters East this year. If you are not signed up to attend All Chapters East, July th at the Old Mill Stream Campground, Lancaster, PA please contact Jim Burr payellowtrike@gmail.com. Our host chapter PA-B has a great weekend planned. Have you made plans to attend Wing Ding 40? It is the National Rally being held in Knoxville, TN. The last couple of years Wing Ding has been on the western half of the USA. Knoxville is a great area to visit, is a great area to ride and it is practically in our backyard. Pennsylvania has been selected to sell tickets on Wednesday, August 29 th at Wing Ding. We need a few more volunteers to fill time slots. Please give us a call at or us at jackson2@zoominternet.net if you have time to volunteer. Thank you if you have already volunteered! 2

3 PA District Directors Harold and Diane Jackson Have you looked at the PA District events calendar? There are many great rides and events listed; you and your chapter should consider attending an event that is listed. We have noticed there are not many events listed on the events calendar as there were at the beginning of the year. We know many chapters have FUN events and outings planned. Let s get your chapter events listed so everyone is aware as to what is happening in the district. It is important for all of us to remember that riding and socializing are an important part of chapter life. So, let s go ride! Remember to always ride safe.

4 PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol CHAPTER DIRECTOR & ASSISTANT DIRECTOR Hello Folks and we hope you all had a wonderful 4 th of July. This Photo by Unknown This Photo by Unknown Well summer is finally here and the weather in the 90 s, what s that all about! A group (16) of us went to Roscoe Village and man was it hot, 99 on the bikes. We drank so much water we should have floated down the road. The canal boat ride was very informative of times gone by when horses pulled the boats up and down the canal and actually turned them around. We stopped at Pinky s restaurant were our sweet little Jack turned a Harley man for a while when he met a sweet little Harley girl Cassie the waitress. Thanks Joe for a good time. But with so many more rides to come we have to be prepared for what the day may bring us. We need to always pack some water, cool neck wraps (if you have them) cool shirts and allow time for breaks if needed. Lenny and I have been doing a lot of work around the house and the hot stuff is not helping the progress. When you all come to the picnic on the 14 th dress cool and if it s too hot we ll come inside. There are fun things coming in the next few months so get all that yard work done so you can join us. Please check your calendars and make a plan. Have a wonderful summer and remember keep your eye to the horizon and the sunny side up!!! Take care, Diana and Esther 4

6 PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol DISTRICT EDUCATOR Hi Everyone, I would like to change the topic this month. I recently encountered something that I have been teaching in CPR/First Aid courses. I want to share an experience about emotional consideration. I was at work recently and was called on my two-way radio to go to the main office for a medical emergency. As I started to enter the building, an individual came rushing out the door calling out that we needed an AED. I looked at him and told him that we have none. He claimed we did. So, I told him to check the building s lower level for one mounted on the wall. Meanwhile, I continued up a flight of stairs to the dispatch office. Upon entering, I found a number of people arguing about want to do for the gentleman lying on the floor. I interrupted the bickering and asked if anyone called 911. Then I started to check on the person on the floor. It was someone I had known for years. He looked up at me and said, Hi Doug. I asked for the room to be cleared so that he could be properly checked for a medical problem; I proceeded to evaluate his condition. While talking with him having him answer questions I realized that he was having a stroke. This is when I started to feel a little helpless. Here I am someone who has had many years of training and all I could do is sit beside him and comfort him until EMS arrived. After my co-worker was taken to the hospital, I started to feel sick and very disturbed. Realizing what was happening to me, I found one of the supervisors and asked him if we could talk. He was also feeling very emotional; he was the first one to arrive at the office to help. As one of my former CPR/ First Aid students, he understood and shared my sense of powerlessness. We talked and it helped! 6

7 PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol Emotions are something that should not be ignored. Negative emotional responses may include: Feeling abandoned or helpless Recalling the event over and over Self-doubt or a feeling that you have not done something correctly Having difficulty concentrating Experiencing heaviness in the chest Suffering with an upset stomach Having difficulties sleeping or having nightmares If you experience these or similar problems, you need to share your feelings. Talk to someone you can trust to listen without judgment. Get back to a normal routine as soon as possible. If the problems persist, you may want to seek professional help. It is important to recognize - and properly react to - the emotions that may result following an emergency situation. Remember to be seen and have FUN getting there!
