Gary Curly Algeo was a Vietnam veteran and a motorcycle enthusiast. He was the former president and longtime member of the Rushmore Chapter of ABATE and a member of the Black Hills Area Bikers.
Mike joined ABATE of South Dakota as soon as he came from Detroit, Michigan to live here. He volunteered on many occasions to help with different functions. Was once the newsletter editor for Rushmore ABATE, Sgt At Arms for Black Hills ABATE and member of the year in 2004 with the Black Hills Chapter. Mike was instrumental in our May Bike Awareness promos on the local TV stations. Outside of the organization he was on the board of directors for the Sturgis Museum. He loved riding, believed in ABATE and though he was only with us for five short years, his time with us will always be remembered.
Until Gail's health started failing she was always there helping at almost every ABATE event. She loved riding and the freedom of the road. She loved being a part of the biker community and the living the biker lifestyle. She will be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her.
