I know that the change will be hard for many of the older members,of which we have many in our unit. But there are many like me who were not raised on Airstreams and only recently found out who Wally was.
I want everyone to know that I own the best trailer made, instead of having to explain what WBCCI stands for. And then answer the question "Who??"
I normally don't like change, but sometimes it's a good thing.

Beth,
I DO know who Mr. Kresge was, courtesy of my great-grandmother...she still called it Kresge's Mart. Just because people are ignorant of the founder's name doesn't mean it should be nix'd out of the product.....it should empower us to teach them about the past and honor it. Do you think that anyone remembers Mr. Roebuck, and how he got screwed, when they took his name out of the game? By the way, I'm only 32.
