[VAL] Request for electronic projector at International

["Fred Coldwell" <agrijeep@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All:

   At the 2005 Homecoming, I gave two Power Point electronic slide shows 
presentations on Airstream trailer development and evolution, from 1932 
to 1957 and from 1958 to 1968.  Each evening I repeated the presentation 
before a much smaller group of Airstreamers, where we have a lively 
interactive conversation during the presentation.  I'd like to do the 
same thing at International.

   I am scheduled to give one show at International, but apparently that 
show will take place in mid afternoon at the central meeting place a 
long bus ride away from the parking area.  The meeting center apparently 
provides the electronic projector I will need to give my show at that 
meeting center, but I won't know that until after arrival.  Assuming 
they have an electronic projector, I strongly doubt that I will be able 
to borrow it to bring back to the VAC parking area to repeat the show 
there.

    I'd would love to repeat and give the two Power Point history 
presentations informally in the Vintage parking area on two, preferably 
consecutive, evenings.   I can bring my laptop but I do not own an 
electronic projector that hooks up to my computer.  Without a projector, 
  we'd all have to crowd around my laptop screen, which is a far cry 
from a Jumbotron.

    If any VACers who will be attending the International can beg, 
borrow or bring an electronic projector, I'll gladly repeat my PP 
presentations informally in the VAC parking area at a time to be 
determined.  We can use the side of someone's nicely polished trailer as 
the screen for viewing during a pair of cool evenings in July in 
Springfield (right).  If the heat is on, we can sip chilled beverages to 
reduce heightened body temperatures caused by viewing vintage tubular 
aluminum.

   If you can bring an electronic projector, please reply to me through 
this list or directly to me off line.   Thanks in advance to anyone who 
can help.
