In Memory- Jesse Tate Who Nurtured my Love of Cycling

Jesse Clark Tate
My uncle Jesse Tate passed away Sunday, August 31, 2008, in Springfield, Mo. Jesse was born September 12, 1930. Many knew him through his ownership of A & B Cycle, the Schwinn dealership in Springfield, Missouri from 1962 to 1992. Those of us who knew him also knew his strong work ethic and the desire to do a task right the first time. He used to show me around the shop, and helped feed my love of cycling, that I still have to this day. We will miss you but know we will see you again. I have many kind memories of Uncle Jesse. Who wouldn't love an uncle who owned a bike shop and had a 1890's style handlebar moustache?

Start where you are...
Use what you have...
Become the change that you want to see in the world.

Enough for Everyone's Need, Not for Everyone's Greed...

Live simply so that others may simply live.

Become the Media

Don't listen to the one-sided corporate-owned media. They are not in the business of finding the truth. They are only concerned about making money for themselves and their stock holders. If they do report the truth, it is only because it suits their business plan. A happy accident...
Become the media! Blog it, film it, record it...
You still have credibility... They don't.
