How The Chicagoland Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade began  

The date was December 13, 1978. This was the date Edward P. (Aminal) Wisniewski originated the Chicagoland Toys For Tots Motorcycle Parade. The first-run was on a cold, windy typical Chicago winter day. The run started from Fantasy Choppers on 63rd Street. Not too bad; they were only two hours behind schedule, in a van packed about one-third full with toys, and Aminal was riding Puppy's bike because his ride was down. Did you know that Aminal owned the shop? Pretty embarrassing for a shop owner!

There were six people involved in the first run;  Aminal, Puppy, Mark-Off, Princess, Namu, and Thor.  On that Wednesday afternoon, three friends, Aminal, Puppy and Thor headed to the Glenview Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois. They almost reached their destination when Aminal lost the chain from the Sportster.  To complete the event, as a motorcycle run, Aminal was towed by Puppy arm-in-arm from the van for about three miles. They made it to the Naval Station and dropped off the toys.
