Dale & Virginia Leipper


"Virginia says to remind you that we had a trailer in 1949 and have had one ever since."  This is from a letter Dad wrote to his parents in 1962 when we were considering the purchase of a new trailer.

These are two quotes by Wally Byam, the creator of the Airstream trailer. I think these quotes describe our family travels.

"I think trailering should begin at home. It is cheaper, more necessary to our education and, very important to neophytes, more convenient (than trailering abroad)."

"Trailering is unquestionably the ideal way to travel with children. They can live their normal life and have their normal schedule of food and sleep and play and get a most wonderful education without even realizing it."
