Biography
Fred Chapman was the founder and original owner of Wagon 11, Are You Lazy Two. Mr. Chapman rode his first Salt Grass Trail Ride in 1953 and never missed a ride until his death in June 2002. Chapman's grandson, former Salt Grass Trail Boss and current Executive Board member David L. Meador, continues the tradition as Wagon Boss for Are You Lazy Two. Some riders say it is not the same without Fred, who always spun a yarn, told tall tales and kept everyone in line. "If you saw him comin', you'd better start runnin," say some group members. The wagon has about 30 riders, the oldest of whom is Charles E. Miller at 73 years of age. Assistant Wagon Boss Delphine Merkel has made the Salt Grass Trail Ride for 34 years, longest of any other Are You Lazt Two member.
