I got lots of comments on how you could only wear one belt buckle at a time. That is indeed, very true.

I think a lot of the change is the motor homes, LQ trailers and campers.  Back in the "old" days we used to sit around and talk cause at best we had camper shells and just a few had real campers.  Now everyone is in their "houses" and not out sitting around.  We used to all sit together with fellow Quicksilver members and yell and cheer for everyone.  I really do miss that but times change.....mb
