Tuesday, December 31st, 2013
Michelin is recalling 1.2 million LTX M/S tires, size LT225/75R16 115/112R LRE, manufactured from January 10, 2010, through June 23, 2012, and supplied for use as original equipment on certain Ford vehicles, and as replacement on light trucks, full-sized heavy duty vans, small RVs and some large pickup trucks. These tires could experience tread separation.

Registered owners should receive a notice after January 6, 2014.  Michelin will replace all tires made within those dates.  If you  do not remember when you put the 16 in. radials on your vehicle, read the date on your tires.

February 15th Luncheon – Houlihan’s – Geneva, IL

Monday, December 30th, 2013

On a very pleasant Saturday afternoon, 17 Airstream enthusiasts met at Houlihan’s Restaurant in St. Charles and had a wonderful time with great conversation and excellent food.  We met at noon in a private room that Dave Mayo arranged for us and stayed until 3:00PM.  This event could not have been nicer and we all enjoyed the food, ambience and Airstream conversation.
The event was attended by: Dave & Kathy Carlig, Charlene & Gene Gardner, Bob & Anita Koch, Jim & Marge Kraner,  Dave and Dolores Mayo, Bonnie Nester, Peter & Judy Schwartz, Guests Jerry McMunn & Caryl Purdue and Bob & Sandy Whitesell.
Thanks to all for coming and making this such a pleasant experience.  Bob Whitesell, President
