FROM THE DESK OF OUR PRESIDENT

January 19-23 was the CalWIT rally at Golden Village Palms (GVP) in Hemet. This year SDRH had 4 rigs participate in the event (Brownes, Randalls, Bridges and Hunts). Bruce is the CalWIT Vice President and had a major role in planning and running the rally. It was a big success.

There was lots to do including contests for bean bag baseball and shuffleboard, several lectures by outside speakers and a good workshop held by Bruce, a rock painting craft project led by yours truly, morning group walks, and lots of good food. Every rig got a raffle prize.

On Saturday night, GVP had a Dueling Pianos music event which was terrific. The event was a great way to meet folks from other clubs and make new friends. One standout for me was a very sweet 91 year old lady who drove her own rig and was parked beside us. I highly encourage you to attend a future CalWIT rally.

FIFTY YEARS!

Hard to imagine that long, long ago there were adventurous people that wanted to enjoy life to the fullest and be mobile - free as the wind! Have you ever thought how basic the motorhomes of that time were. Our club has stood the test of time with hundreds of members during the fifty years.

BRUCE AND JOLAINE BROWNE
Members since 2011

Bruce and Jolaine Browne have given countless hours of service to San Die-go Rolling Homes over the past ten years. Bruce was our club President for three years and is currently Vice President of CalWIT.

Although Bruce was raised in San Diego and Jolaine in New York, they were destined to meet at an airline party in San Diego and marry 34 years ago. Jolaine worked for 15 years in data entry for American Airlines and PSA, and Bruce worked in ground operations for 35 years at Southwest. Airline em-ployment was ideal for the Browne's and continues to provide worldwide travel benefits. Since Bruce’s retire-ment in 2018, they are enjoying both air and RV travel. At home, they have an outdoor model railroad and enjoy the Cooking Channel, learning to make beer, wine, ice cream and other creative dishes. They are the proud parents of one son and one grandson.

Some of you didnt know or remember when Maury and Jean use to lead the club line dancing. It was quite a group.

Old guys do it too!

After a few days of rainy cold weather -don’t you believe we are ready for spring flowers and warm weather? We have a few months that are begging for ingenuity and locations for outings. How about joining someone and sur-prise us? 

TRAVEL TIPS

Every president since Herbert Hoover has a pres-idential library and museum. When we travel across country, we look for these museums and enjoy learning about the history of our country and events that took place during different administrations. The museums of more recent presi-dents remind us of what was going on in our own lives during that time period. In addition to 13 presidential libraries around the country, there are many outstanding presidential museums to visit including Washington’s Mt.Vernon near Washington, DC, Jefferson’s Monticello in Virginia, and our favorite, Lincoln’s museum in Springfield, IL.

Although most of the museums are in the eastern half of the United States, we are fortunate to have two in California, the Nixon library in Yorba Linda and the Reagan library in Simi Valley. Both have camping within 30 minutes, and could be a destination for our club. Drive time from San Diego to the Nixon Library is about two hours. It’s about four hours to the Reagan Li-brary. Let me know if this would interest you.
