A MEMORIAL motorcycle ride held to honor the memory of Brad Howse, who lost his battle to cancer one year ago, was held Sept. 23 followed by a gathering of friends and family at Kitty’s. Organized by Jenn Wallace, the event raised $2,125 for the North Reading Food Pantry. With today’s tough times and the rising cost of food, his family felt this was the charity that would most benefit from the donation, especially with the holidays approaching. Personally visiting the Food Pantry to present their donation were (l-r): Brad’s son, Tommy Howse; Jenn Wallace; Brad’s daughter, Julia Howse; and Brad’s brother, Rusty Howse. (Courtesy Photo)
