Larry Husman

[fillibuster]

Larry Husman, 60, died March 7, 2012, in Sioux Falls SD, of cancer.
A Great Plains Chapter member, the "audacious one" was a natural-born leader who prompted a large share of the fun our chapter enjoyed. He was always one of the primary agitators of riding events, whether to Davenport or Farmington, or to nationally sponsored Road Runs, as well as chapter rides, and any good excuse to ride anywhere.

An avid Indian enthusiast, Larry played the competitive part with the Harley boys in good sportsmanship. He will be missed by all.

A poem by his survivors follows, next post.

Give us another day in the wind, Dear Lord
Just one more day in the wind.
The last one was so long ago,
Tomorrow we may never know
Your hills, Your streams, Your great sunrise,
The air, the pines, Your magnificent skies.

Put us in flight on 385
With a full tank of gas, on our favorite rides,
Put a gleam in our eye, a set in our jaw,
And a boastful confidence in our iron prides.

Give us a line of a hundred Harleys
Slow and steady, unsuspecting
of our anxious pursuit
our overtaking

And now, give us, Lord, a clear left lane
at the crest of a lengthy hill,
We'll twist up the power, and roar by them all!
To the fore! by Your will,
as the mighty prevail! and the lesser they fall
to the awesome speed of the Indian!

We'll laugh! and celebrate! our gutsy feat!
With the joy of victory on our face.
We'll swagger about, and pump our chests.....

Just one more earthly thrill, Lord, Your Grace,
for yes, we know,
That it is only by Your Grace, Dear Lord
Only by Your Grace
