Greetings everyone - Ty Hardiman here. After a decade of thinking about it, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a TZE.

To be a little more specific, this winter I convinced an old high school friend of mine to purchase a TZE, which has always been my dream coach. And to return the favor, he has now convinced me to do the same. So thanks, Aaron - I guess I just needed a little push to leave the Roadtrek lifestyle behind and upgrade to the GMC. Now my birth year, my boat, my BMW motorcycles, and my coach are aligned into the same decade. Who says nothing good came out of the 1970's?

I want to give respect, thanks, and props to everyone who helped me make my decision, even if they didn't know it:
-GMCMI had great timing with their Oklahoma rally this spring. Many generous people there allowed me to tour their coaches and show me the possibilities. Kim Weeks and many others put together a great event.
-The Tulsa Lunch Bunch & GMC Classics
-John Shotwell & the GMC registry
-Travao, Bounds, and Kanomata
-All the forum contributors who have helped me learn so much in the past few years including Ken Henderson, Matt Colie, Emery Stora, Bob Dunahugh, James Hupy, Mac MacDonald, Robert Mueller, Ken Burton, Kerry Pinkerton, Johnny Bridges, and so many others whose wisdom is preserved for the ages. I enjoyed meeting several of you in Shawnee this year and look forward to our next meet, hopefully at GMCMI Elkhart this fall.
-Billy Massey, the bdub website, and the Facebook GMC Motorhome Marketplace group.
-Everyone else who is out there supporting fellow GMCers as we criss-cross the blue marble.

I have joined GMCMI, updated the GMC registry, started my logbook, posted my sigfile, and embarked on the "First 10 things" list I made at the GMCMI Shawnee Q&A session. When using the forums I promise to "search first, ask second".

My "new" 1977 Kingsley won't be the last coach I buy in my lifetime, but I'm pretty sure they're going to be TZEs to the end.

Thanks all,
Ty
