Wellington Hall
B Troop Leader
I was born in Belize, Central America, where I received all of my formal education. I came to the United States at the age of 22, and joined the US Army in 1970. I took my basic training at Fort Dix, NJ, and my AIT at Fort Gordon, Ga as a Military Policeman. I also conducted Airborne Training at Fort Benning, where my first permanent assignment brought me to Fort Bragg, NC. I have had an array of wonderful assignments around the world as a military policeman to include Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with the 503rd MP Bn, 16th MP Bde. I retired from the US Army in 1994.
My wife Edith and I have been married for 28 years, and we have 3 sons, Adam, Brian, and Todd. Adam lives in Greensboro, Brian is in the Army and presently assigned in Afghanistan, Todd is a Marine stationed in California. I wanted my retirement years to be enjoyable and beneficial. I believed that a motorcycle was one of the tools that would bring me what I craved. I took the motorcycle safety course, and purchased a Suzuki (C50) Boulevard. The next question was , who will I ride with. I have always seen the Buffalo Soldiers riding their bikes in parades, and supporting worthwhile causes.
My decision to petition to joined the organization was a no brain-er, because I like to participate and help worthy people and causes. I am looking forward to the day when I can call myself "Buffalo Soldier".
My handle will be "Scorpion".
