For some of you who know nothing about Glenda and me, this will be a brief description of Glenda and William Lee.
  In 1995, my 2 children were in the Brookwood High School marching band. I was the equipment manager for the band, which  responsibilities included getting all instruments and props to and from the ballgames. I was a single parent and this job kept me busy and in touch with my children.
  In September of that year, I met a charming young lady who also had a son in the band. She was on the committee that would be putting down covers for the bleachers which kept the uniforms from getting so dirty. On one particular night, Glenda was trying to get into the stadium to do her job but the gates had not been opened. Upon noticing her and her not being able to get into the stadium, I asked her if she needed help, and she told me her problem. Without hesitation, I unlocked the gate and allowed her and her workers in to do their jobs.
  She later came out and began to introduce herself and I done the same, and from that point on, the ball began to roll. On February 14th, we were married.
  We had to do a lot of adjusting to each other and both of our different family lifestyles. It was a challenge, but I think we done quite well. We learned to live together as a family and we became very close. Slowly the children became adults and moved away from the nest.
In February of 2001, I purchased my first Goldwing from David and Ann
Walker. Although this was not my first motorcycle, it was my first touring bike.
  David and Jr. Maharrey invited me and Glenda to the chapter’s meeting which was just a few nights later. We came to the meeting where we were greeted with open arms and friendship. We felt that we had found something that the both of us could come to and enjoy. We enjoyed it so much that in June of 01, we purchased a 2001 GL1800. We were the first couple in Tuscaloosa County to own the new style of Goldwing. It was truly a work of art and I was very impressed with its performance. we knew it, we were going to rallies all over the place. The ride was great and the people were even better. The ride was great and the people were even better.
  In January of 2003, Darin and Janet Miller became our new chapter director and they asked us if we would be their assistant. We decided to accept the job and for 2 years we held the job. In 2005, we became the Director for the chapter and held that position until September of 2007. We have had a wonderful time in the chapter and have traveled everywhere you can imagine. We can say that we have ridden a Goldwing in 49 of the 50 states of the United States and 8 provinces of Canada since the purchase of our first Goldwing. The state in which we have not ridden is Alaska. We plan on going to Alaska in 2009 that is the year which I will be retiring from my present job of 33 years. We have met many new friends over the last few years and have enjoyed our new family of friends.
  We will be working our photography business once I retire. We have been doing this type of side work for the past 10 years and we love it. It will give us a chance to enjoy our children and grandchildren at a more leisure time.
  By the way, we have 3 children, Lyndi, which is our oldest, is soon to be 29, married to Shane Harris and has 2 of the most beautiful girls in the world. The names of our little angels are Ada Grace and Madison Whitley Harris. Bo, who is our middle child, will be 28 in April is currently dating a sweet young lady by the name of Honey Gayle Poe and only time will tell where that will lead. Jamie, our youngest will be 27 in July. He is presently serving our country in Iraq with the U.S. Navy Seabees. He is married to Anna Guth Lee and they have a cute little boy by the name of Bryan “Lil Man” Lee which will probably be a motorcycle lover himself.
  In closing, I would like to say that God is truly my Co-Pilot and without him most of the things which have occurred in mine and Glenda’s life would not have been possible. He has blessed us in ways that would not be possible without his love for the 2 of us and our children. I trust if you have not had a personal relationship with him, that you will search your heart and pray that he will be your personal savior. In the end, you will truly not regret it and you will see life as you
have never seen it before.
William and Glenda Lee
