State Historian
The State Historian is not a position by election but rather an appointment by the State Director. Jerry Deel, known by most as "Ish" was appointed as the State Historian because of his early contributions to the beginning roots of the BTW in the early 80's. Today, Ish is the Chapter Director of "Tornado Alley", a Kansas BTW Chapter. His BTW membership is in the single digits and the trike that he drives is the same one he built thirty some years ago. Over the years, a lot of things have changed, including the structure of the BTW. Today the BTW is the largest triking organization in the world where anyone that's interested in triking can find the support and fellowship that's shared within the brotherhood of trikers.
