[VACList] Hello to all

["Craig Carlson" <craigcar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hello as a new member of the VACList (for
the second time).

A few years back I saw a newspaper article about a VAC rally . I believe it
was the first Cherry Blossom rally in 2000.  I did some google searches and
ended up finding this group.  I had fun listening to your conversations for
several months, but ended up "dropping out" as I couldn't keep up with the
volume of emails.

Tuesday evening I was watching fundraising on my local PBS station.  After
years of resenting the PBS fundraising process of showing "specials" (rather
than "regular" programming) I've come to a new conclusion.  The special
programming provides an opportunity to show interesting and fun things that
can't be done as a series.  Tuesday evening's program was "Mobile America,"
a history of RV's in the United States.  Even though the focus wasn't on
Airstreams, I immediately thought about all of you and how much I enjoyed
reading the "VAC List".

I don't have an Airstream, but I'm back to listen to your stories of
restoration and maintenance.  And, once again I'm in the "maybe someday"
mode.

Question: Does anybody have trouble with www.tompatterson.com?  Every time I
try going to the archive, I lock-up (blank screen requiring a re-boot).  Is
it my antiquated PC running Windows 95?
