Sierra Nevada Airstreams: Memories

2005 - 50th Anniversary of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International

50 years of Airstreaming

The Harrison and Leipper families have been members of WBCCI continuously since it's inception in 1955. Currently all members of the Leipper family are members of WBCCI. Virginia Harrison Leipper, (#1183) daughter of Bryan and Jo Harrison is a second generation Airstreamer. Virginia's children Bryan Leipper (#772), Diane Leipper (#772), Anita Leipper (#5502), and Janet Leipper Smith are third generation Airstreams. It looks like Janet's daughter and son-in-law are catching aluminitus and may become the fourth generation of Airstreamers in our family. In 2005, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International we compiled photos, documents and other materials from the family archives and posted it here on this website.

This was one of the few pictures Gramp (Bryan Harrison) had no notes on. Not sure of the date or the event.
