We met Ernie when we decided to stop off in McGregor, Iowa. He was sitting at the bar drinking a coke and waiting to go to work. Ernie was nice enough to give us an interview and told us about being in the military and also about being in a motorcycle gang. Ernie ended up in McGregor because as he put it, he "fell in lust" with a woman and decided to move. Despite Ernie's rough looks he was a very kind and gentle man and as we left he wished us well.
