Sharing the history of theTR Volunteer Fire/Rescue Department
Travelers Rest Volunteer Fire/Rescue Inc. is also known as Sta-tion 33, Pasco County Fire/Res-cue. The following article tells itsstory using information taken fromhistorical records and The Storyof Travelers Rest Resort 1972-2012 by Doug Pedersen.
By the mid-70s with the parkat capacity and plans underway forthe mobile home subdivision, folksbecame increasingly concernedabout fire protection. Even thoughthe nearby San Antonio VolunteerFire Department would respond toan emergency, dwellings could beconsumed before the firefightersarrived. As several former profes-sional firefighters retired to TR,including first Fire Chief PaulRife, they proposed organizing theTR Fire Department.
Board permission was grantedwith a start-up amount of $1,800from the Park fund in 1977. Plansproceeded with the identificationof equipment. The summer of1978 was highlighted when thefirst fire truck was purchased fromthe Fire Department in Palmetto,Fla. for the sum of $2,000. Thiswas the green 1957 Ford SeagraveFire Truck.
The fire department received
its state charter on Oct. 24, 1978,and a steel building was erectedacross the street from Busch Hall.With its initial charter and ISOrating of 10, fire insurance for TheVillage homes and buildings wasquite high. Actual cost can’t be re-trieved, but it was significantlyhigher than we pay now. On Nov.27, 1990, the Park’s ISO rating wasdropped to a 6, and the fire insur-ance rates fell.
There have been five FireChiefs since the inception of thedepartment: Paul Rife, Jerry
Young, Bill Gosnell, Paul Fellerand Dick Gutridge.
It would be remiss to not men-tion that Matthew (Mattie) andMargaret (Peg) Cullinane weretwo of the people who pushed fora rescue squad. Back in the ‘70swhen the Park was first starting, itcould take 20 to 30 minutes foran ambulance to arrive from DadeCity. The roads then were likeJohnston Road before it was re-paved a few years ago. Mattie,who was involved in fire and res-cue work in Concord, Mass. formany years, helped in training theinitial squad members. Though toomodest to take much credit for thesquad’s growth, members clearlylet it be known that “he is the gluethat holds it all together.” Mattieworked for over 20 years with theFire Department, training over 200squad members. Yearly, the firedepartment requested a modestdonation from residents of thePark. The annual fee was $15 fora Village residence, $10 for a placein the Cabana section and $5 foreach trailer in Airstream South.
A 1978 (or ‘79) Chevy vanwas purchased to become the Res-cue Squad. The interior was ex-tensively rebuilt to accommodatestorage of needed rescue items.Squad 4 was put in service onFeb. 21, 1987. A home for theSquad was needed and soon the
work was being performed to addan addition to the Fire Station.
The Firemen and First Re-sponders were training every Tues-day to hone their skills. Severaltimes the Green Machine could beseen around the park with hoses onthe ground and the firemen spray-ing water into the air. Thank good-ness it was only a drill to improveskills. Some add that all the train-ing wore out the old Green Ma-chine. In 1995 a new fire truckwas purchased from the Spring HillFire Department at a cost of$25,000. This 1982 Pierce Fordfire engine was a valuable asset tothe department and it was red!
Eventually the costs to insurethe Fire Department became astro-nomical, and after deliberation, in2003 the Travelers Rest VolunteerFire-Rescue Inc. merged with thePasco County Fire Rescue. Thiswas a blessing in a way, as PascoCounty now maintained the truckand more equipment could be pro-cured.
The department continues toimprove through advanced trainingand newer equipment. In 2008Pasco County provided a new firetruck, a 1992 Pierce engine thatwe currently have at the Station. AFord station wagon was also pro-vided by Pasco County.
Today at TR we have nineFirefighters with an average ageof 74. We have fourteen FirstResponders, eight of whom arefemales. There are four Associatemembers.
These volunteers are available24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week toprovide emergency service to ourPark residents and visitors. Whenthe siren sounds, day or night, ourFirst Responders drop what theyare doing and respond to the emer-gency, whether a chest pain pa-tient, a fire or a helicopter landingon the Practice Range.
A reminder: TR residents arefortunate to have these dedicatedvolunteers. Please stay out of theway of the responding units.

WINSTON PIKE
Sprinkles of Living Water
by Chaplain Winston PikeHe really wasn’t much of a
farmer and I’m unsure of how hecame into ownership of severalhundred acres of farmland, abouta half section, but own it he did.George was of my father’s genera-tion though probably a few yearsolder. He didn’t work much of thatacreage himself, but rented it outto others, including my dad. Helived a mile or so down the roadfrom our farm. I got to knowGeorge when I was eleven ortwelve years old.
He and his bachelor brotherusually showed up at threshing orsilo-filling time. I was one of thetractor drivers out in the field andwas usually at the wheel of a JohnDeere or a Farmall. In George’scase however, it was an AllisChalmers WC, manufacturedabout the same year I was born. Itwas an absolute beast for a youngkid to handle. It had a hand brakelever on each side of the seat anda clutch that Charles Atlas wouldhave had difficulty engaging. Slid-ing way forward in the seat andgrabbing hold of the wheel, I’dshove my left leg with all my mightto push in the clutch and shiftgears — and then usually let it outwith a jerk.
George wasn’t the swiftestworker, but he was cordial and easyto get along with. He was nice tothis boy that was helping him outand often paid me a little moneyat the end of the day. For some rea-
My friend George
son or other the friendship sort ofremained, though growing on up, Isaw him only on rare occasions. Ileft the area when I was nineteen.At that time, George, Vera, andtheir two girls were still living inthe same aging cement blockhouse.
Over two decades passed andin July one summer I was sched-uled to do a little singing andpreaching at a camp meeting backin that area. There were some whoattended the services, curious tosee how that young kid turned outanyway. A week or ten days hang-ing out in old home territory how-ever, turned out to be an enjoyableand refreshing experience.
After the opening service alady stopped me and asked if I wasgoing to visit her dad while I wasin the area. A few moments later Ilearned that she was one ofGeorge’s daughters and that he did,in fact, want me to come over andsee him. I agreed. We set it up forthe following Saturday afternoon.
When I drove up the longdrive, George, now up in years andliving there alone, was standing inthe yard waiting. We gave eachother a warm greeting and theyears simply faded away. It was sogood to see him. We strolledaround the yard. He pointed up tothe top of the silo and told me thatmy grandfather had built the top onit. We slid the big creaky barndoors open. Stored there were sev-eral pieces of machinery alongwith the old orange-colored WCtractor. I climbed aboard and satdown to get that old feeling onemore time.
Before long we stepped oninto his kitchen where it was alittle cooler, sat at the table thereand enjoyed a glass of ice water.Finally, after conversing about oldtimes, friends and neighbors it wastime for me to leave. I said,“George, before I go I have onemore question — I need to knowif you’re ready to go to heaven?”His eyes brimmed a little as heanswered, “I hope so.” I told himhe could know so, as I shared withhim for a moment about Jesus andGod’s plan for eternity.
We hugged and shook handsone more time and I drove away. Itwas the last time I saw him. I haveno word about the final results ofthat delightful day, but I hope thatsomewhere beyond this mortalken, I will again have the joy ofonce more greeting my goodfriend George.
Last week the editorial asked residents to consider puttingtheir name forward as a candidate for one of the three Board posi-tions which will be open in March. We hope that the NominatingCommittee has had a good response. All of us want our TR to bea little piece of paradise.
Our TR Board sets policies for the benefit of both the corpora-tion and the community.
Our TR Manager oversees the day-to-day operations andensures that Board policies are followed.
And, each of us has a part to play in making our TR a veryspecial place. It really is all about teamwork and communication.The Board and residents share information and concerns at theVeranda Chats and monthly Resident Forums.
By volunteering our skills and supporting our activities wekeep our TR growing. By our interactions with newcomers andguests we welcome others to get involved.
Together, we all contribute to maintaining the original visionof our TR:
Resort quality living at an affordable price made possible bya caring community of committed volunteers.

Last week pages 14 and 15 hadphotos of TR being all decoratedfor Christmas. The theme waswhistle while we work.
Well, because the TR Timesstaff was busy whistling while weput the photos into the paper, weinadvertently identified the wrongphotographer.
Our thanks to Jack Carey whowhistled his way all over the parkto get us these great Christmasphotos.
Thanks, Jack
We would like to send out BIG HUGS and BIG THANKS to all thepeople who helped us with the food drive for Day Star Hope Pantry inNovember, the gift cards and money for Sunrise Domestic Violenceand Sexual Assault Center in December and the laying of the wreathsservice. Beth Smith made the wreaths so we send a special thanks toyou Beth. All of you helped to make these events very, very success-ful!
We wish you could all be with us to see the reaction of the peoplewe take the food to and give the cards to. They are soooo appreciative!

have to test the hose we have onthe truck. Our truck has 450 ft of1-1/2” Attack Hose, 150 ft of2-1/2” Attack Hose and 1,200 feetof 2-1/2” Supply Hose.
It takes all hands to accom-plish this testing. We started onTuesday, Dec. 6, on Busch Blvd.between Jake Way and Maple. Wewill continued testing on Tuesday,Dec. 13 at the same location.
Sorry for blocking the road,but this is the best location to dothe testing.We usually start around8:30 a.m. and end about 10 a.m.
The Siren
by Jean CobbLife threatening disturbances
in the beating rhythm of the heartmay accompany a heart attack, butthey can also occur suddenly with-out symptoms or warning. Theperson suddenly loses conscious-ness, stops breathing and is totallyunresponsive. Within three min-utes, without intervention, braincells begin to die and the chancesof survival diminish rapidly. Quiteliterally, seconds make a differ-ence!
An automated externaldefibrillator (AED) is a portableelectronic device that automati-cally detects life-threatening dis-turbances in heart rhythm and candeliver an electrical shock to re-store an effective heartbeat. Withsimple audio and visual directions,AEDs are designed so anyone canuse them. Research has validatedthat bystanders with no training atall can effectively use an AED.
TR has three AEDs available24 hours a day for residents andguests in the park. Two (2) are inwhite boxes with red lights on top– one on the outside wall of Cit-rus East and one on the outside wallof Busch Hall near the pool.
The third is in the dashboardof the TR First Responder Cart. Ifyou open the door of the whiteboxes an alarm sounds and the redlight begins to flash as an emer-gency alert. Don’t worry about thealarm – it will quit on its own andwill be reset later by Fire/Rescuepersonnel. IMPORTANT: Open-ing the AED box does NOT no-tify 911.
If you see someone suddenlylose consciousness, dial 911 andsend someone to get an AED andbring it to the patient. If you or abystander know CPR, begin CPRon the patient. Once the AED ar-rives, turn it on and follow the ver-bal commands. In TR, the FirstResponders will take over as soonas they arrive.
To use the AED, open thecover and turn on the machine. Itwill begin to talk to you, telling youexactly what to do. Simply followthe directions. It will tell you toremove clothing from the upperbody of the patient and place stickyelectrode pads on the upper rightand lower left of the chest. Thereare also diagrams on the pads.
Then the AED will ask you notto touch the patient while it is de-tecting and analyzing heart rhythm.If the AED determines that a shockis indicated to restore heartrhythm, it will say “shock advised”and give instructions for everyoneto stand back and for the rescuerto press the shock button.
If it determines that a shockis not necessary, or that it will notrestore heart rhythm, it will say “noshock advised.”
Suggestions: First, take aminute this week and find theAEDs at TR.
Second, come to the annualCPR/AED training that will be of-fered by the TR First Responderslater this season.
YOU can use an AED to savesomeone at TR!
What is an AED?
Firefighters test the hoses
Sorry if we blocked the roadAnd made you turn around,But there had been an accident,And someone was on the ground.
Sorry if we woke youIn the middle of your sleep,But someone in your neighborhoodHad made our pagers beep.
When you see or hear us comingWe hope you understandAnd let us have the right-of-way‘Cause someone needs a hand.
We don’t do this for money.You know we don’t get paid.We don’t do it for glory,But for lives that may be saved.
No matter if it’s daytimeOr in the dark of night,Don’t hesitate to call us,For we’d like to ease your plight.
So if you need our service,Just dial 911And long before you know it,We’ll all be on the run.
God gave us different interests.Some sing, some golf, some knit.But Squads 4’s top priorityIs to help, at least a little bit.
We’re certified as First Responders,As well as in CPR technique.But our main qualificationIs the empathy that makes us unique.

Let’s talk about the SocialWe really need to thank the TRTimes and Snack Shack for fund-ing our dinner. They were morethan generous again this year.
How about going to lunch onthe opening of the Snack Shack at11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7 andthanking them in person or just re-membering to say thanks when yougo there for lunch. The TR Timesneeds a special thanks, also.
Dinner info - Mary Hunter,Linda Smith and crew put themoney to good use and were ableto feed about 350 of us. Needlessto say, they had plenty of behind-the-scenes helpers. We all wonderhow they are able to pull this off,but not to worry. Mary’s crew didit again without a hitch. We can’tfigure out how they figure it all out,but they do.
How about the table set-up?This just made sense as it gave usthe liberty of moving around andtalking to each other at the table.Thanks Linda Smith and those thatshowed up to help.
Dinner menu - Loved theham, scalloped potatoes, veggiesalad and rolls. A special dinnerplanned for special people, forsure.
Santa Claus came to town -Santa was dressed in his real Santasuit. It was a little scary the wayhe showed up Sunday night. Butnot to worry, Mrs. Santa (JeanieMartin) made sure he lookedgreat.
Employees turn up - So niceto see so many of our employeesshow up. This shows us that theylove TR as much as we do. We areblessed to have so many employ-ees who are willing to share theirafter-hours time with us.
Looks like all of the childrenenjoyed their visits with Santa andwe really enjoyed them. BarbZych had the responsibility of get-
ting the children to write a note toSanta. Many laughs were sharedby all as the children told us justwhat they wished for Christmas.
What they didn’t know untilthey opened their packages is thatthere was candy and a gift card,which was really from all TR resi-dents. Bet they can hardly wait forsomeone to take them shopping?
What about the soundbooth? – Larry Heimbach is themaster of the sound booth. Thereis true talent there, and he came toour rescue when requested.
Beverage dilemma – Sorryabout the shortage of drinks.Promise that won’t happen againnext year. Seems like laughtermakes us thirsty, right?
TR Times photos – BillBradford was the representativeTR Times photographer and manypictures were taken. Bill is in theprocess of having the photos of thechildren with Santa printed so thatthere will be a remembrance oftheir time spent with Santa. Hownice is that of the TR Times andBill to do that? John Goodger wasalso right on the job. These twoare always in the right place at theright time.
Grand Marshal – Tom Leehad a great idea concerning DickGutridge’s retirement from our TRFire Dept. It was an honor to nameDick as our own Grand Marshal.He really deserves this recogni-tion.
Mega thanks to all of us - Itis hard to mention everyone thathelped, but you all know who youare and your friends really appre-ciate your true Christmas spirit.
While many were out liningup for the parade, many stayed be-hind and put away the tables andchairs. Amazing, but maybe notknowing our employees, theirchildren were right there helpingput things where they belong.
Laying of the wreaths – Thiswas touching. Even the kids stoodat attention. Great job, Darold.
Our TR parkers led by Rein-deer Tom Fuller had the job of lin-ing up the parade and that wentwithout a hitch. Yeah.
2017 Christmas Socialplans – Next year is the year of aprogram in the hall (sing-a-long,etc.) or maybe another parade? Letme know your wishes, please.
We are assuming that therewill be a dinner next season??
Merry Christmas - We areall able to celebrate the gifts of theseason and know that we have onevery special family here at Travel-ers Rest. We are truly blessed. Toall friends past, present, and future,Happy Holidays and may Godbless us all.

Birding Activity
Birds will fall silent in Kentucky
It had been twilight and cooland it instantly became almostdark and silent. The temperaturedropped instantly. The birds be-came silent and dogs raised theirhackles.
We all just stood and expe-rienced the amazing phenomena.No wonder at all that our ancientancestors thought such eventssignified that the gods were dis-pleased or the end of the worldwas arriving. And this all hap-pened with the sun obscured!Now we hope for a good day inWestern Kentucky next August.
As the eclipse is an astro-mathematical certainty, it is easyto find from the Internet exactlywhich towns and cities are in thetotality path and the time to thesecond of when the total eclipsestarts. If you happen to live onthe path you are lucky. You haveplenty of time to plan a party. Ifyou are interested and have todrive for totality, plan your traveland accommodations now.
We have reserved somenights at the Kentucky LakeKOA in Paducah, Ky. It is a popu-lar recreation area, and the camp-ground is already almost full. Inthe U.K. in 1999 there was totalgridlock as all along the totalitypath hundreds of thousands madelast minute decisions to see theeclipse. Most saw nothing.
So, our August birding willbe interrupted as the birds fallsilent in Kentucky.
by Norm EdenThe birds in Kentucky will fall
silent this summer when the solareclipse occurs.
Witnessing a total eclipse canbe a humbling and inspiring expe-rience. On Aug. 21, 2017, the sun’sfirst total eclipse to be visible fromthe contiguous U.S. since 1979,will occur. This event will travelfrom Oregon, then across themiddle of the country and exit inSouth Carolina. It is well worthplanning to see, if the path is withinyour reach.
The total eclipse will takeclose to two hours, but next year’spath of totality, where the sun iscompletely shut out for a few min-utes by the moon’s shadow, will beonly approximately 73 miles wide.This area is the place to be if pos-sible.
There is a mass of informationon the web; just Google your ques-tions.
A good start for your search iswww.eclipse2017.org where it iseasy to find statements such as,“You’ll remember it for the rest ofyour life as the greatest thing youever saw.” That is not an exaggera-tion; it is a strange, somewhat weirdand profound experience.
Anne and I took our trailer tosouthern England in 1999 to see thelast eclipse across the U.K. Al-though our location was cloudy, wedid not see the blocked out sun,only a dim glow.
What we did experience wasunforgettable. We were fortunateto be on a hillside facing west asthe eclipse progressively darkenedeverything while approaching thetotality period.
Then suddenly we could see asort of dark mass on the horizon.Before our brains could grasp thefact, the dark mass was streaking to-wards us, at 1100 m.p.h., and hadcontinued on.
by Mary Lou BurkhartNo, I’m not referring to
insects. The buzz today is the chat-ter when we gardeners get together.A lot of it these days refers to thenew gazebo we expect shortly –right about the first of the year. Ourbiggest concern is protecting theplantings in the vicinity whiletaking away the old gazebo withwood so soft it can’t retain a nail.
The good news is that the Gar-den Club will no longer be respon-sible for the maintenance of theboardwalk. It has become sucha time-consuming and labor inten-sive job that we cannot do it justice,so the park has assumed theresponsibility.
The Buzz in the Garden
I’m sure that a more ablegroup of workers can handle itwhether they be our maintenancecrews or carpenter shop individu-als.
We now have two representa-tives from the Board of Directorsto liaison on our behalf. MargiePreister and Steve Smith will beour “go-to” people We welcomeand appreciate their interest.
Another reason to celebrate isthe arrival of a new member. He isRichard, “Rick” Pebbles who

recently leased lot 06-13. Rickloves bamboo and is currentlyworking to trim it and rebuild ourbamboo backdrop barrier to thehillside below. Welcome, Rick.
We continue to peck away atthe weeds and vines and delight atthe discoveries. We noticed thatthe Bird of Paradise bloomedwhile we were gone.
In that same area near thebromeliad garden, I was shakingoff the Monstera which tends tocollect dead leaves when I sawwhat looked like a wadded up pieceof Kleenex. I brushed it to theground and was about to pick it upwhen I noticed an upside downcritter on its back kicking up astorm. I wondered about it be-cause it was white. Then I men-tioned it to Joanne Hall who hadrecently read about the invasion ofCuban Tree Frogs which appear tobe white but change colors undercertain conditions such as tem-peratures and surroundings. Theyhave begun to invade Florida as farnorth as Gainesville and are largerthan the little ones we are accus-tomed to seeing – some growingto six inches. They feed on ourlittle green tree frogs and other in-sects. I don’t know if that is whatI saw, but Google says not to pickthem up with bare hands. As withall newly discovered species, dosome research to learn more.
Our wild kingdom must begood for goldfish because ours aregrowing and flourishing in thepond near the swing. Ricky Rac-coon still visits but as long as thecompost is buried, he doesn’tbother it.
Holes appear in various loca-tions in the garden and they couldbe anything from armadillos tosquirrels and that’s good reason tostay on the boardwalk when stroll-ing.
As the song goes, It’s Begin-ning to Look a Lot Like Christ-mas. Take care putting up thosedecorations. Stay well and happy.

by Judy LeisterFive year old Roxy has prob-
ably lived in more parts of theworld than many humans. It’s toobad this adorable little Shih Tzucan’t tell us about her past. Whatwe do know started on ChristmasEve three years ago. She wanderedinto the guard house of a gatedcommunity in Manila, Philippineswhere Jill and Greg Harvell wereworking for Southern Baptist Mis-sionaries. The Harvells hung post-ers and checked with area veteri-narians trying to find the owner.They were totally smitten byRoxy’s sweet personality. Need-less to say they were thrilled whenthe original owner never surfacedand Roxy was able to become anofficial member of their family.
Two years later Roxy’s newfamily retired and returned to theirhome in Sumter, S.C. The twenty-four hour flight went from thePhilippines to Japan to Atlanta toCharlotte. Roxy was a great trav-eler in her doggie flight bag ridingunder Jill’s seat in the cabin of theplane.
Roxy has become a welcomeface here at TR for her second sea-son. Even though Jill and Greg
ROXYPhoto by Judy Leister
have retired from mission work,they still make extended trips tovisit family in other parts of theworld. So Jill’s sister Vicki andtheir parents Gail and Bill Davis,all of who are long time residentsof TR, were quick to open theirhome to Roxy.
Life is kept interesting withRoxy here. She has demonstratedhow fast she can zoom when anopen door to the outside world isin front of her. She found thatlounging on the back of the couchcan sometimes have hazardous re-sults. No Kibble ‘N Bits for thislittle gal. She likes her homecooked veggies, so Gail hasopened her kitchen to a whole newmenu. It is so worth it though.Roxy brings lots of joy to all thelives she touches. What a wonder-ful Christmas gift she has become.
Dogs bark to communicate.What are they saying? Keep read-ing to find out…
1) Continuous fast barks.“There is a potential danger!Someone is coming into our ter-ritory.”
2) Fast barks with a fewpauses. “I think there is a potentialintruder. The pack leader shouldlook into it.”
3) Constant barking, withlong to moderate pauses. “I amalone and need my companion.”
4) One or two short barks.“Hello.”
5) One sharp short bark lowpitched. “Surprised.” If it changesto two or three then it becomes“Come see!” This alerts the pack.
6) One sharp short bark at ahigh pitch. “What’s this?” If thereare two or three it changes to“Come see!”
7) One yelp. “Ouch.”8) Concessive yelps. “I am
in pain.” or “I’m really scared.”9) Stutter bark. Sounding
like “ar ruff” instead of “ruff.” Itmeans “Let’s play.”
10) Almost a yelp but not thathigh pitched. “This is fun, let’splay.”
We love to communicatewith our dogs, but remember herein TR it is important that dogs donot become a nuisance. Exerciseand lots of playtime help. If thatdoesn’t work there are other waysto deter barking. TR welcomespets with good manners with openarms.

At the end of last season, JudySmith told me about a book writ-ten by two teachers that tells thestory of Egmont Key, which hasbeen a sentinel island for shipsentering Tampa Bay from the Gulfof Mexico for hundreds of years. This book is used by Floridaschools to teach their local his-tory. Egmont Key was recognizedby early European explorers forits strategic location. Its story re-flects major events in the historyof the U.S. and Florida, as the is-land played a role in the Seminolewars, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and WWI and II. Itslighthouse, now automated, is stilla beacon for ships. For many years,people have enjoyed the beachesof Egmont Key, walked the redbrick roads to “nowhere” and ex-
plored the ruins of Fort Dade. Au-thors Don and Carol Thompsonaim to foster an appreciation of theuniqueness and beauty of EgmontKey, as well as an understandingof its place in history. This bookis titled Egmont Key: A Historyand is located in our non-fictionsection - Travel Description (NF/TD.)
I always welcome suggestionsof books that you think would beof interest to readers, especiallyones that deal with the history ofFlorida.

by Jim & Mary Ann Stimpson,WBCCI #10032, MichiganUnit
When we brought our brandnew 31’ Sovereign Airstreamhome to our driveway in SoutheastMichigan in January, 1975, we didnot know what a history it wouldhave with us. We never would havebelieved that in 2016 our trailerwould still be with us and on theroad. The Airstream is still in greatcondition after a 41-year trailerlife with us.
In 1975 our Airstream wasdecked out in gold short cut shagcarpeting throughout, a bronze/gold patterned pull out sofa andgold countertops. All this hasbeen changed many times throughthe years to keep it updated. Whenthe original pleated draperies woreout Jim took on the project ofmaking the same design withpleats at the top and bottom. Thistime the drapes were made withwashable lining and beige linenmaterial. We can still take themdown to wash and replace the clips.
Another trailer renovationcame after living in the trailer forthree summers while building ourretirement home in NorthernMichigan. By the time we movedinto the house the trailer felt likea construction hut. This refurbish-ing project included new appli-ances installed, carpeting, lino-leum and painting the plastic por-tions of the walls and ceiling. Thebathroom which is a center modelwas also restored. The originalcabinets, closet doors, twin bedplatforms etc. were cleaned up butwere all still in good shape as theyare today. The work was done byJim in the winter, enclosed in thecedar storage barn he had made forthe toys men seem to collect. Thisis where, when not in use, the Air-stream is stored. Keeping it pol-ished and inside when not in usehelps keep the original finish look-ing good, even with its age.
Since the first summer weused our trailer, it has had manythousands of miles of travel. Formany years our four children trav-eled with us. Our youngest son was15 and with us when we completedthe last state, Alaska, in 1983. Thetrip to Alaska was done during afive week vacation period. It wasa great trip with many memories,as were the many other trips wetook.
MEET YOUR NEIGHBORSOur 41 years with our 31-foot Airstream
In 1985 we traveled with fam-ily to North Carolina for our old-est son’s wedding. This Octoberwe are planning to take the trailerdown to Georgia for his daughter’swedding. This will be so specialwith a 31-year time span in be-tween weddings.
One of our later trips was our50th anniversary year in 2009. Wetook off from Michigan at Thanks-giving time and headed to the RoseParade in Pasadena. This RoseParade rally and the Hobo rally inCalifornia were lasting memoriesfor us. We had the rest of the win-ter and spring to travel to see fam-ily, friends and many other states.After five months and 12,000miles from coast to coast we re-turned to our home in NorthernMichigan.
In 2010, when we returnedfrom that long trip, the Airstreamneeded some frame repair. Wetook the trailer to Jackson Center,Ohio along with the original war-ranty papers. In 1975 Airstreamwas owned by Beatrice Foods andit was their policy to offer lifetimewarranty on the frame and bodystructure to ORIGINAL owners.The current Airstream owner(Thor) honored that warranty andinstalled a major frame reinforce-ment kit along with some otherminor items at no cost to us. Thislifetime warranty policy, I believe,ended with the 1976 model. Theserepairs have given the trailer addedlife.
We continue to travel to ral-lies with our Michigan Unit and weare looking forward to returning toour third winter of living at Trav-
elers Rest in Florida. We serve asthe editors of the Michigram, theMichigan Unit Newsletter. Peoplewho see our vintage Airstream donot believe the age it is, inside oroutside. This makes us so proud.We often share the stories of ourtravel experiences and make newfriendships along the way.
We have often wondered ifthere are other Airstreams out onthe road that have had the sameoriginal owners for as manyyears. We should like to hear theirstories too.
The above article, written byTR residents Jim and Mary AnnStimpson, was published in theBlue Beret in June 2016. The BlueBeret is the official Airstream pub-lication of WBCCI, Wally ByamCaravan Club International. It isreprinted here with permission.
by Marilyn PenderThe TR knitters group has a
home, that is, a time and place todo our thing. Even better than that,we will share and teach. We allstarted the same way, with “twosticks and a string,” and enjoyhelping any aspiring knitter onhis/her journey, creating this beau-tiful fabric.
Let us now consider the grouprules. Oops – no rules. A goodword is “suggestion.” We mustsuggest that you be prepared tohave fun. Good times, sharing andlearning go hand-in-hand whenknitting is in session.
A mistake is just “practice.”Several mistakes is a new “pat-tern.” Another suggestion: anyproject that becomes work can beabandoned or set aside for furtherconsideration. Of course, this alldepends on a particular disposi-tion/attitude.
We have UFOs (unfinishedobjects) and FOs (finished ob-jects). We have lots of stash. Ac-ronyms abound in the world ofknitting. But it’s not hard to catchon. It is a nice language ... mostly.
Calling allknit 1, purl 1 enthusiasts
Several knitters on variousFlorida knit lists have noted thatthe yarn selections, including wooland other items considered“knitterly,” are getting more abun-dant in Florida. Need I say that thisbrings to mind field trips? Thereare a few shops within a day-tripplan, with lunch out of course. Irecall that last season a few“knitsters” did venture on to a va-riety of shops in the Tampa areaafter the yarn shop invasion wasfinished. Like the Red Hats: norules.
When the body requires acalming, orderly activity, knittingis there. When the mind yearns fora new challenge, there is a new pat-tern or technique. When fellow-ship with a common bond isneeded, knitters are here. Whenone sits, waiting in a vehicle out-side the hardware or auto partsstore, the small knit project, likean old friend, is close by.
No experience required.Bring some #7 or #8 needles, wor-sted weight yarn and join with usThursdays, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. inCitrus West.

Joke of the week: Whatdoes the 19th hole prove? It provesbeyond a shadow of a doubt thatthe Scots invented the game solelyin order to sell their national bev-erage in large quantities.
Tip of the week: Think aboutthe shaft, not the ball. This can bea difficult concept for amateurs tograsp, but if you want to use theclub properly and hit the ball flush,the bottom of your swing has to bein front of the ball. Your shaftshould be leaning toward the tar-get at impact and the divot shouldstart after you strike the ball. If youare focusing too hard on hitting theball, your wrists can break down asyou try to scoop it into the air. –Sean Foley, Golf Digest

Ed. Note –Charlene wrote thatshe had been doing errands, real-ized it was lunchtime and decidedto enjoy it with her mother: WhenI got there, her apartment door waslocked. She never locks her doorunless she leaves the property. Iwent to the front desk to ask if theyhad seen her and the person onduty said she had not and perhapsshe was on the Monday morningouting to Walmart, or maybe shewas already in the dining room alittle early for lunch. Neither op-tion felt right so I returned to herapartment door and was standingthere contemplating the next stepwhich would have been to call her.
Another resident saw me andasked if I was looking for my Mom.I told her I was and did she knowwhere she might be because Iwanted to join her for lunch. Shesaid she did. She said Mom waspicked up around 7:30 a.m. thatmorning – she had been chosenalong with some of the other resi-dents to be an extra in a movie be-ing filmed by School of the Arts andthey were not back yet. She alsoshared that they wanted her tobring her knitting – keep in mindMom can be seen knitting most ofher free time. She does not like tobe idle.
At that moment, I saw myMom for who she was with greatclarity and so appreciated and re-spected her. Here is a woman 97years old with some dementia stillembracing life and pursuing an ad-venture without hesitation. I don’tknow why it took me this long toreally get her – perhaps workingwith the Fringe Festival and wit-nessing women with so many vari-ous gifts having the courage to bewho they are and share it with oth-ers.
The next couple of days werefull of errands and appointmentsand I did not call her until Wednes-day morning. When I called, I toldher that I heard she was going tobe in a movie. She did not knowwhat I was talking about and askedwhy I would think that. I told herwhat I was told and she said shedid not remember and that it’stough getting old and losing yourmemory, but if it did happen... “Ibet I had fun.”
So I ask myself— if I live tobe 97, have dementia and cannotremember my experiences at thatmoment, can I be assured that likemy Mom, Sara Watkins, if itsounds like fun, I know I had funbecause that is the way I lived mylife. She knew!

After Ann passed away fol-lowing a long illness in 2003, Davejoined the Everglades Florida Unitof WBCCI, the Wally Byam Air-stream Club, discovered the newenjoyment of owning an RV andtraveling the roads instead of thewaterways. He became very in-volved in the club and enjoyed theadventures on Airstream Caravans.
Sue Yeutter and Dave met atan Airstream rally and began trav-eling together. The first summerthey traveled with one dog andthree cats.
