I am so excited to be on the list! When I
get my A/S I will post pictures. My Grandparents bought their first A/S
in 1960 and had a bunch of them before we had to sell their last one after
Grandma died in 1991. My family has been kicking themselves ever since
for selling it. I wish I had some of their old trailers. My
favorite was a mid-bath, rear twin unit. My Grandfather died at the age
of 80 from a heart attack. They were in Florida (Enchanting Acres near
Naples) when he died from a heart attack while eating lunch in the
trailer. He had just finished washing it. Died in the
Airstream...he would have liked that twist. Grandma stayed there quite a
while before the trailer got to be too much and she moved into a retirement
community. They loved those trailers and the A/S way of
life. They took 'em from Alaska to South America and even went on a
caravan in Africa. After my Dad died in '67 they took my mom, brother,
sister and I on a WBCCI caravan to Western Canada for 2 months.
From then on we were ALL Airstreamers and many trips awaited us. I have
been waiting for the day when I can have my very own and this spring will be
the time. The tradition lives on...
