In Memory of Nell Godwin


Just a short note in recognition and condolence to the family of Nell Godwin who recently passed away at the age of 102. She was a neighbor of mine when I was a child, a motorcyclist, a skier, and a musician. Her bubbly personality, and her femininity and her musical talent hid the fact that she was the second female motorcyclist licensed in the Province of Alberta riding an Indian motorcycle while her husband Don rode a Harley. When her husband Don became ill and confined to a hospital in the  mid '60's, she at around 50 yrs of age bought a Yamaha twin jet 100, which I maintained on her behalf, to travel back and forth to visit him. 
She truly was a believer in Two Wheels moving the Soul.
