I don't know if you remember Clem and Edna Huguet from long ago but I am their daughter, Janice. My parents talked of Sidney often so I thought I'd send my condolences in their memory. In fact, I have a picture from 1936 of the motorcycle boys with my dad and Sidney and a few other guys. If any of you would like to have a copy of it I would be happy to pass on some copies.
Also I don't know if you remember one of their motorcycle buddies, Stanley Groves, but he was married to Edna's sister, Martha. Martha who lives in Gainesville, FL sends her condolences.
