The little lady with the big smile is Dorine Hamilton, wife and helpmate of Wichita, Kansas BMW dealer Leroy Hamilton. Her favorite sport - motorcycling. Her favorite motorcycle - BMW. (She has travelled 37,000 carefree miles on her BMW R-50.) Dorine displays her Airforce emblem legally. She is a civilian employee of the USAF. She also is proud of her "Queen of the Highways" medal, earned in many competitive motorcycle events. If you want to know why Dorine beams with pride...ask any BMW owner.
