That's correct, Mike. All six have decided to move on the other units, become members at large, or drop their membership completely. I had coffee with a member this morning who has quit attending unit functions because he and his wife were treated rudely, but he continues to pay annual dues because he really likes his Airstream and most fellow Airstreamers. He and his wife are avid bicyclists and have little use for business meetings and regional rallies where everyone gets crammed together in confined space.
I was reminded to today by another member of the article on page 67 of the Winter 2006 Airstream Life. Here's a quote:
"He (Wally) liked State and National Parks because they generally met his privacy and quietness requirements… But too many trailer parks, he discovered, suffered from a lack of privacy and quiet. And a too great concentration of humanity in a small area…” Don't you think Wally would be happy to know that some of us want to get back to camping and seeing new and interesting places away from the great concentration of humanity?
