Hi John and Barb,

What a nice post.  You and I had the same impressions about the Homecoming 
rally at the factory.  

One thing, I do believe the front row was populated with the people who got 
there first. I say that because some friends of mine were parked there and they 
simply arrived early.

I also found Dicky to be very interested in what customers have to say.

I wandered into the Airstream sales place at the International and he was 
standing behind the bar.  We chatted for a minute since I had met him at the 
Homecoming.  I told him that I've designed the *perfect* Airstream.  He asked me a 
little about it, but then said to wait a minute.... he found his design guy 
and the three of us, and my two Border Collies climbed into the Gator and we 
went way over to where my trailer was.  

They came inside and I showed them the design.  They were very interested, or 
at least put on a good show, then he asked me to put it all down in drawings 
and mail it to him.  I did.... now I'm waiting for the HLH to replace the CCD.

It was so nice at the Homecoming to see the employees enjoying themselves 
with us.  I had a hinky little problem with my step and saw one retired employee 
helping an owner with something so I sidled over to whine about my step.  Next 
thing I know this guy was under my trailer cutting a hole in it, fixing the 
the step, and riviting a perfect patch over the hole.  He didn't even want 
money, but I convinced him to take some.    

I have issues with some of the WBCCI actions, for example separating the dog 
owners into a separate section at the International.....
