We love Craig for his humor, heart, and decades of dedication to the club—proof that even without a garage full of classics, you can be part of the journey.

Back in 2002, Craig finally gave in to joining the Great Northern Region—after Glenn Wisser’s persistent nudging and a high-stakes dare: Craig promised to join if Glenn would ride in the Pride Parade with him. He was sure Glenn would chicken out. He didn’t.

“We sat in the back of a car club member’s convertible like a couple of beauty pageant queens. We had the time of our lives! No regrets!!!”

Craig’s favorite experiences range from parties and road trips to small-town Pride celebrations—but one moment stands out:

“One of the most touching events was attending Pine City Pride. I was speaking to a woman who brought her teenage son to the event, he was just coming out. They drove about 100 miles to get there from central Minnesota. She wanted to let me know how important it was to her when she saw our caravan of cars arriving with signs and gay pride flags on them. Of course we had the horns blasting. She was very moved by our show of support.”

While Craig has never owned a classic car, his love for old luxury vehicles nearly had him behind the wheel of a vintage Lincoln stretch limo—twice!

Curious? We were too.

It turns out one limo was part of a suspicious “business opportunity” that ended up on the evening news. The other? Too quirky to insure unless he opened a business. “I just love old luxury cars and always wanted to buy a used limo just for the fun of it.”

Craig shows us it’s not about what you drive—it’s about who you ride with. And we’re glad to have him along.
