And I'll bet they were just as thrilled to have you stop. We all love
showing our coaches. Just like a puppy or a kitten, our GMCs help us meet
lots of nice people. Glad you stopped and reported.

If I had the info on owners, I'd put together a story on original owners
that still have their coaches. Gene and Joan Dotson are pretty close to
original owners having bought their "back in the day".
There was a couple that attended the Patterson GMCMI convention this
spring. They had owned their Eleganza II since new and had never heard of
the GMC organizations until lately. They were from New England, as I
recall. If they show up at Goshen I'm going to corner them and get a story
started.
I've only met one sorehead that owned a GMC. One in every crowd. That's
how you know we're normal.
