Northeast Chapter News
July/August- ‘08
The entire Northeast Chapter welcomes our newest member,
Ronald and Stephanie Mulway
of Port Charlotte, FL
Several Northeast members in route to the Mobile ACA National Rally
enjoyed a pre-rally at the Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis, MS.
Thanks to Ken and Sharon Heins for making all of the parking
arrangements in the casinos, full hook up, RV park.
This allowed some of us to contribute to the casinos money coffers
by playing their various games of chance.
I learned long ago that their reason to be in the casino
business is not to let me win money.
However, I still believe in the great American dream of
winning mega $$$$$$$$$$ with one play of the one arm bandits.
Am I cheap or what?
On our first evening in Bay St. Louis, Ken and Sharon WOWED! us with
a complete dinner at their coach consisting of Minnesota BBQ (Ken’s
home state) and all the fixins including strawberry shortcake. YUM!
YUM!
With Don and Helga Remington we traveled to Gulfport, MS Navy Base
to attend an interesting Navy Seabee’s and Homeland Security field
day. Also, on another
day Bea and I, with Don and Helga, traveled to New Orleans, LA for
dinner and to see the sights of Bourbon St.
Very interesting!
In my opinion there is no other city like New Orleans.
Traveling around the Mississippi gulf area the storm damage from
Katrina and some other hurricanes is still so obvious with many
homes and businesses still missing completely or are in a totally
uninhabitable state.
Upon arriving at the Fair Grounds for the ACA National Rally in
Mobile, AL we were all parked together in a very timely fashion and
found yet another Northeast Chapter member Scott and Susan Kellett
with a new 2008 45 Ft. Eagle.
Their coach is the epitome of beauty.
We had a great time and many thanks to our hosts the Southeast
Chapter and all their volunteers for all their hard work for putting
the Rally together.
Upon leaving Mobile we had a 5-day ride to Essex Junction, VT to
attend an FMCA, Green Mountain Chapter rally hosted by their chapter
president Bonnie and Richard Barton of Barre, VT.
Bonnie and Richard are also our own Northeast Chapter
members.
We enjoyed making many new friends, and their well-planned rally
with much fun and food.
Also we found Essex Junction and the Burlington, VT area has many
more attractions to be enjoyed than we had time to visit them.
In a few days we will arrive in Foxboro, MA for a great Northeast
Chapter Rally on June 5th
The Lake George, NY rally scheduled for Sept. 3 –7, 2008 is sure to
be a sell out because of the classic and street rod show.
For up to date info contact Jim and Brenda Anderson
518-654-9699or

Immediately following Lake George we will
leave for a rolling rally through New England and Quebec City,
Canada. This certainly will
be an interesting trip.
Contact Steve and Suki Duhamel at
203. 410.7236 or Gene
Please be so thankful to all of the men and women of the world who
often risk their lives to give us the safety, security and freedom
that we enjoy every day.
We hope to see all of you at future chapter and national rallies.
Lloyd Monroe
NE Chapter President
