Campti Chapter Confederates MC
Wild Bill Retires
Gone But Not Forgotten
Louisiana Biker is committed to remembering and
honoring all fallen riders and loved ones that are no
longer with us.
By Stacie “Snoopy” Conly
I have had the honor to be friends, and even family, with
some of the Confederates Motorcycle Club. I further had the
honor of being invited to attend a retirement party for one of
their brothers on August 15, 2015. Wild Bill was retiring after
many years in the CMC and his party was held at the C&J
Bar (former Backroad Bar) in Fairview Alpha, Louisiana.
The Confederates from different chapters; as well as, other
clubs and organizations including The Boozefighters MC,
The Band MC, Gray Ghosts MC, Hell on Wheels MC, Lone
Wolf MC, Riding for The Son CMA, and A.B.A.T.E. of Louisiana, Inc all made a strong showing of support for Wild Bill.
Also many Independent Bikers from all around North and
Central Louisiana came and a grand total of approximately
100 bikes throughout the day. CMC Campti President Chad
Woodall, his wife Charity, and Campti Chapter members
started cooking the food the night before with some of them
camping out there.
They served BBQ sandwiches with sides and believe me when
I tell you it was good! Vendor, Southern Santa and Rebel
Moon, who are popular in the biker community, sold their
merchandise. Of the two bands who performed, one was Michael Ray and Clyde; Michael Ray is a patch holder with the
CMC Ruston Chapter.
As long as we exist, every picture and name shared
with us will be posted on our GBNF page.

I spoke with many of the Confederate brothers of Wild
Bill and they all spoke of how much love and respect they had
for Wild Bill and how he wasn’t going to be gone, just not as
active. Wild Bill with his brothers and friends shared memories of some being patched in at his house; as well as, other
memories. CMC Campti Chapter President, Chad Woodall
on Wild Bill, “Rode beside me in sunshine and rain and never
left me when I needed him. Rode till he couldn’t ride now he
gets to retire with pride”

Chris was born December 16th, 1969, in Abilene, TX
and was one of six children. Chris went home to be
with our Lord and Savior on December 8, 2015.
The day was a perfect example of how much love and
respect there are between club brothers, but also with brothers from other clubs. I have been at other events with Confederates, Boozefighters, Gray Ghosts, Hell on Wheels, The
Band, etc... and never has there been anything but the utmost
respect between them while they joined in earning money for
benefits to help others or just to have a good time.
Wild Bill, thank you for all you’ve done in the club and
thank you to all Confederates for allowing an “outsider” for
being a part and being so patient while trying to take pictures
and videos and doing so with a smile on your faces. I look
forward to the next event I am invited to attend.
