This album illustrates the enjoyment and learning that FMC Coach owners had at the recent rally. We had 9 FMCs and one SOB trailer plus two coach owners without their coaches do to inoperative conditions. The pictures are courtesy of Stephen Heinrichs and Larry Enoksen.

As part of the meeting, Don Reed gave a short summary of his work at the beginning of our coach's creation. First, it was noted that the coach division was located in Riverside, CA and not in Santa Clara. It was only after about 6 coaches were built that the Riverside facility was closed and the coach division moved to Santa Clara adjacent to the ordinance division. Don was the only plant employee transfered to the new location. Not too long afterward, he was transferred from the coach division to the ordinance division and his work with the coaches ended.


After a break, it was time for the potluck dinner. We had a lot of different foods as it seemed everyone cooked their "specialty". I and everyone else ate too much.


More eating of food. I think Mary Lou is going back for thirds! Also during dinner, the drawing was held for the FMC T-shirts designed and sold by NRS (Northwest River Supply). NRS donated two shirts and Larry Enoksen donated one shirt for the raffle. To purchase one or other items from NRS, go to http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=7560&pdeptid=2062


The next morning, Paco and Mary Lou Ruiz had to travel. They get the prize(s) for: lowest numbered coach #059, longest owned at 27 years and for being the most mature at 80 yrs young.


And the visiting and conversations continued with Larry, Joe and Nuntawan, Carlton, Eric and Mary Ann all enjoying the day.


Here we have Laura Lumibao heading off to do a little shopping and eating as part of a group that went to XXXXXX to enjoy some of the sights of the California Gold Country.


Here you see some of the orginal buildings that still remain from the gold rush days of the 1850's.


Meanwhile, back at the rally site, Randy Bradshaw is getting really serious and has donned his coveralls. Greg is going under Jim Woestman's coach.


Greg Miller came back out to grab a flashlight so it must be getting serious! With a hard surface at the RV park, Eric Whedon brought Stephen's creeper along to make under coach inspections easier and quicker.


Since Greg found a loose shock mount, Jim is going under to have a look for himself.


Now Greg is back under, but very deep this time.


This was the group watching others going under Jim's coach. They were able to render lot's of opinions about what was found.
