Girl:  “What are you rebelling against, Johnny?”

Johnny Strabler: “What do you got?”
    -Scene from “The Wild One”

    Marlon Brando’s depiction of Johnny Strabler helped sear  the image of the tough motorcyclist into the consciousness of the American public.
    Motorcycle gangs such as Hell’s Angels, the Pagans and other “Outlaw Motorcycle Groups,” have done little to change that image.

Louise Noell lives in a nice comfortable home today, but her early years were rough.

    Noell was born in Appomattox on Sept. 24, 1910, a daughter of Joseph O’Brien, a Bedford native. Noell originally started school there, but had to leave school after third grade in order to help care for her siblings — four brothers and two sisters — after her mother’s death.
