Past Couples of the Year:John & Paula CrowWhere Are They Now?By Tom & Kathy Peck • International Couple of the Year CoordinatorsAbove and beyond the call of duty—that describes the dedication and commitment ofsome GWRRA Members.And that is certainly the case with John & Paula Crow,our 2004-2005 International Couple of the Year.Hailing from Winfield, Kansas, theCrows bought their first (andonly) Gold Wing—a 1997Sonoma Green GL1500—with only3,000 miles registering on the odometer.Today, their Wing shows more than136,000 on it but John tells us that, lastyear, he and Paula only rode 103 miles!The reason? They attended all theGWRRA rallies and events with theirtwo-year-old granddaughter, Caydence.Now many of our Members can relateto the awesome and rewarding task ofhelping to raise a grandchild. But unlikemany of us, that doesn’t keep John andPaula from getting together withGWRRA friends and family while theydo it.Caydence was born just before WingDing 27 in 2005 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.AsJohn and Paula were preparing to leavetheir home in Kansas that year to attendWing Ding, Paula’s daughter Rendi, one oftheir five children, was in labor with herfirst child. Needless to say, the Crows had a difficultdecision to make: Stay in Kansas or fulfilltheir obligations to GWRRA and theCouple of the Year program.The Crows werenearing the end of their reign as the 2004-2005 International Couple of the Year, and theymade the tough choice to leave for FortWayne.The day before Wing Ding officiallybegan—and during the orientation session forthose participating in the upcomingInternational Couple of the Year selection—Paula received the call that their new granddaughterhad just arrived. We (Tom & Kathy)celebrated the joyous occasion with them butcouldn’t help but also see the sadness they feltat not being with their daughter at this blessedtime.This is just one instance of how John andPaula have gone “above and beyond the call ofduty” for GWRRA.Indeed, the Association has been an importantpart of their lives since they joined in1998. After just six weeks with their HomeChapter, KS-Q, in Wellington, Kansas, theybecame Assistant Chapter Directors.Following that came the assignments ofChapter Newsletter Editor, Senior ChapterDirector, Kansas District Educator, and KansasAssistant District Director. John and Paulathen enjoyed their time as InternationalCouple of the Year for 2004-2005 before takingon the responsibility of Kansas DistrictDirectors.The Crows have been able to accomplishall this while working full-time. John is thesupervisor for Winfield City Lake, withincreased responsibilities each year during therecreation season from late spring to early fall.Paula works as a business assistant in a dentaloffice.But since stepping down from their DistrictDirector role in September of 2007, they haveenjoyed being JAMs (just a Member).Yetthey say they can’t wait to get moreinvolved again with GWRRA as theirresponsibilities with work and familylessen a bit.And the Crows say they thoroughlyenjoyed their time as ICOY. Paula says,“The best thing about being InternationalCouple of the Year was not who we were,but who we met. Wherever we went,GWRRA Members were wonderful andjust wanted us to be a part of theirgroup.”John and Paula both have contagiouspersonalities, and their sense of humorputs everyone at ease. They have entertainedmany rally audiences with theirsongs, themed attire and skits—fromdressing as Minnie Pearl and PorterWagoner to portraying a realistic cavemanand cavewoman. (Paula’s renditionof the famed song “Crazy” is so special,in fact, that it’s hard to tell which “P.C.”you’re listening to—Paula Crow or PatsyCline!).We must admit we’ve missed the Crows onthe rally circuit these past few months, and wecan’t wait for these two to get back on theroad again.That way, those of you who haven’tyet met them will have a chance to get toknow these two very special people! ●18 Wing World
