Joking despite the tight squeeze in an elevator, from left, David Trail of McKeesport, Jeff Kremer of Rostraver, Tom Ganley of McKeesport, and Michelle Trail (David Trail's wife), joke as they deliver holiday gifts to Monongahela Valley Hospital in Carroll, Washington County. They and other members of the Mon Valley Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. (Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education) were bringing cheer to patients. Tye: "I followed these bikers from the bar to the hospital where they were distributing gifts. When we all got on an elevator, along with some other people, it was a very tight fit, and the bikers spontaneously burst into laughter. I immediately realized there was a photo here, before we even got to the patients. As I picked up my camera, one of the bikers said: 'This is a real Kodak moment.' He was right."
