Mark & Joan Wolf

Sorry
Joan, I know you hate this picture! At the January meeting, a presentation was
made to Mark Wolf. If you missed it, you probably didn’t realize that Mark
was voted "Four Wheeler of the Year" for the second year in a row!
He also won the award for accumulating the most points last year as well as
the year before. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting
Mark and his wife Joan, you are really missing out on a great couple who has
brought new strides to the New Mexico 4 Wheelers. Mark held the President’s
position for 2 years and has also been the Events Chairman for the Southwest
Four Wheel Drive Association for several years. I would have included a
picture of Mark and Joan’s Commando but I found that this picture would
remind everyone just what a great leader Mark is! Mark always provides fun
around the campfire until that clock strikes the chime of 9 o’clock sharp
and then he is out like a light bulb and people can hear him from miles away.
Before Mark painted his Commando, it was appropriately named
"Aesthetically Challenged" because of its’ multiple colored and
pieced together body. Now it looks and works like a great trail rig! We all
know that behind every good man is a Great woman, and that describes Joan
through and through. You’ll normally find Joan hiking up any trail that Mark
might be driving. We think it’s because she likes to hike and not because
she is afraid of riding with him, or at least that is what he told us! And to
let everyone know that the New Mexico 4- Wheeler’s are still a family
organization….this picture was set up when poor Mark missed his bedtime
while on a camping trip with the club. Let that be a lesson to anyone
intending to participate in an overnight trip! Thanks Mark for all of your
hard work, dedication, fun, and laughter you bring to the club. And thank you
Joan for putting up with him and keeping him.
