About Ralph "Teach" Elrod:

Elrod says, "I've been a nomad member of the Barons Motorcycle Club (of Salt Lake City) since July 20, 1969. I love the life but there are other parts to my story. I attended 11 different schools in seven different states, graduating from Boise High and received a football scholarship to Boise Junior College. Later I taught elementary school in Oregon for four years. My last year of teaching was in Montana. I was also road captain of the Barons MC. I was elected president throughout the 1970's...a time of rebellion. Times were wild, fast and tough -- so were we. I loved it! This is my story."

Michael McFall of The Salt Lake Tribune writes, "He thought he would be a preacher, became a teacher but wound up a biker - as well as a bricklayer, business owner and chief of a volunteer fire department during his many years."
