Margaret Goodson-OKC bombing victim

[Paco Bulto]

Thirty years ago today I was attending the HSTA Telemena rally in Mena, Arkansas. During the Saturday evening meal at the rally HQ, the Queen Wilhamena Lodge we learned that one of our members, Margaret Goodson was killed a few days prior during the Oklahoma City bombing while working at the Murrah federal building. Here is her picture and a little about her as shown on the museum site dedicated to the 168 victims. It is mentioned that her favorite motorcycle trip was to Mena.

Thank you Fred for reminding us that these victims should not be forgotten. If I remember correctly, I met her husband at STAR that year. A member of ours, Mike Morris, brought him along "because he could use a distraction".  Indeed.   TM

Hi, Tom,

Yes, I had ridden with her husband Ron previously and was looking forward to riding with him again at the Mena rally. A good guy. He dropped out of the HSTA a few years after that and I lost contact.
