[VAL] A 'left field' question for our historians...



In addition to my 1962 Tradewind (with the anodized gold panel strip), I own a
Revcon motorhome.  The purpose of this post is to try to learn if the creator
of this RV, John Hall (who was either Wally Byam's nephew, or son-in-law) is
still living.  John Hall wanted to have the utility of aluminum in a
self-propelled, front-wheel-drive rig, to effect a low weight and low center
of gravity.  It worked.  They were very expensive and made to order.

One of the regulars on our Revcon list was wondering, and this is the first
place I thought of to ask.  If he's alive, we'd love to contact him to express
our appreciation of his creation.

Anybody know anything about 'our' John Hall?


Thanks,
