Five Southern Illinois units attended the International Rally in Bozeman, MT:  Doerr, Hangsleben, Meier, T. Schwartz, and G. White.  Also attending were associate members Jones, Luther and Schrader.  Erwins were on their way but returned home due to illness in their family. Dan Nugteren was there one morning between his United Airline flights.  What a surprise and pleasure!

Southern Illinois Unit had a cookie-and-ice-cream get together one evening.  Bob and Lee Moyers, Region 5 President and First Lady, also joined us.  The sugar cookies were shaped like  Airstream trailers.  Some were iced with silver-colored icing, but also some were pink, green, coral, and yellow. At that time, those present decided not to participate in the July 4th parade as there were so few of us.

The Baylesses, Schaettes, and G. Whites each have an Airstream trailer for sale.  If you or someone you know is interested in a trailer, you could contact one of these members to learn details about their trailers. Medical news that we know about:
