PGR MISSION: LT. JERRY RILEY PART 1 9-20-10

Monday, 9-20-10, North Texas PGR Ride Captains: Ted, Tex and Joe; and me a North Texas PGR member, went to Emmanuel Baptist Church, 220 Valley View (Loop 11) here in Wichita Falls Texas, to meet with Pastor Bill Pursley, who would be officiating at the funeral of Lt. Jerry Riley, a retired Wichita Falls Police Officer. The PGR had been requested by the family to attend the funeral and we were meeting to discuss the placement of flags, where to park the motorcycles, and the order of how the funeral would go. Scroll down and join us on Part 1 of this PGR Mission and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

.

This is the view of Emmanuel Baptist Church on Loop 11 if heading South on Loop 11.

We arrive at Marketstreet and I went over to look at this bush and then turned around and got this pic of Tex & Ted at the table..

I asked a customer if he would take a picture of the three of us. He said no problem and then took this picture: left to right: me, Tex & Ted..

When we left Marketstreet, I decided I'd follow Ted home and then turn back around and head to my place. Here is Ted as I finally catch up to him as he heads East on the freeway

Ted on his Harley as we head East on US82 (Kell Freeway). This is the last picture of Monday Part 1 of the North Texas PGR Mission and this will conclude this post. Part 2, will be posted shortly and will have occurred on Tuesday 9-21-10.
