A Message From Out-Going First Officer
Jim “Whizzer” Allen
To my Conroe SCRC Family: I don’t know how to put my thoughts and gratitude into words but I’ll try my best. I’m more of an action person rather than a speaking or writing person, so I’ll do my best to express how I feel about the Conroe Chapter of SCRC.
I have been a member for 8 years now and when I first joined I just wanted to ride, and ride I did. Conroe has always made rides available and I road every chance I could. Through this time I earned my road name “Whizzer” and it has stuck and I’m very proud of it. I had no idea that wanting to ride would bring the FO & SO to consider me as a Road Captain, but it did. Over those years as RC I was asked to become the Second Officer. As you all know, that lead up to me becoming First Officer.
I want to thank each and everyone of you for allowing me to hold this position. You accepting me as First Officer really made me smile and enjoy this position even more. I have had a blast riding with you all for the past two years as FO. I have never felt prouder than when other chapters asked where I was from and when they seemed to always recognize us by the way we ride. When I said I’m from the Conroe Chapter I always said it proudly, as I’m very fortunate to be a part of this Family & Chapter.
As being FO for 2 years it is time for me to step down and retire. I have worked very close with SteelDawg this past year. I had no idea that working with SteelDawg would bring so much enlightenment to my life. Not only has SteelDawg been my right hand for the last year, he has become a mentor in my life that I truly respect and admire, and which has turned into a great friendship that I will cherish forever. As I turn this chapter over to SteelDawg, I know he will be inspiring all of us with new ideas that will add to the excitement of this chapter. I support SteelDawg as our new First Officer and I hope each of you will do the same. SteelDawg is a real man and as you get to know him you will learn that he is full of compassion and love.
Though I’m retiring, I’m not going to the old folks home or selling my bike. I will still be joining you all on Chapter Rides, Bike Nights, and other rides and special events. I want you all to know, I love this family of mine and I’m glad I had the opportunity to lead you all.
Thank you again for supporting all my efforts.
-Whizzer
