Awesome Penton Family photo, and the January POG meeting.

[Paul Danik]

Towards the bottom of a box of "stuff" that I have been going through, I found this incredible framed photo. I don't really know where the box came from, but over the years on a number of occasions such boxes have been handed to me to look through to see if I find anything "interesting" in them, and most often some gems are found, and this photo is most certainly a gem.

I have no idea when or where the photo was taken, but as you can see there are a number of the members of the First Family of the Penton Sportcycle in the photo. From the left, Mrs. John Penton, Jack Penton, John Penton, Tom Penton and I think one of Jack's sons is on the right. Most certainly a happy occasion as can be seen from the smiles on everyone's faces. Hopefully, the when and wheres of this photo, and who the fellow on the right is will be answered in the " Ask The Experts" portion of the upcoming POG meeting.

The first POG meeting of 2025 will take place on Thursday January 2nd. The meeting will take place in the Jackpiner room of the KTM office building located just west of beautiful downtown Amherst, Ohio. POG President Rick Bennett will bring the meeting to order at 7 pm, and if you would like to attend, please feel free to do so. One does not need to be a POG member to attend, and wouldn't you like to be on hand to hear all about this awesome photo !

P.S. Just found out that the photo is from the 30th. Anniversary of the US ISDT. This link will take you to the photos from that event that are part of the POG website photo gallery. https://pentonusa.smugmug.com/2003-ISDT-Reunion-Ride
