Memorial Service for Rob Lentini

[bmwmick]

Friends,
There will be a small memorial service for Rob on Saturday Sept. 25th at
1300 in Tucson, AZ at the Air National Guard base. The service will be held in the cafeteria on base. Anyone wishing to attend should plan to meet at Rob's home ON MOTORCYCLES (if possible) and from there we will ride to the base.
All Rob's riding friends are invited. The details will be published as
soon as they are available. This notice is being sent so you can keep this day
open if you are planning to attend.
