motor coaching

Mom & Dad 1972

My Dad was the President of the Family Motor Coaching Association in the late 60s and early 70s.  They used to give the presidents these patch covered blazers, and I have my Dad's from back then.  Here is a pic of Mom & Dad at an FMCA rally in 1972.   Still today when you join the FMCA, you are issued an "F-plate", which denotes which number membership you bought. These days, the number is in the hundreds of thousands, so in the FMCA, the lower your member number, the cooler you were.  Mike has it on lockdown with 953. Kurta security breach:  953 is a common password / lock combo / etc. in our family.  Next time you see a motor home (not a trailer) on the highway, look on the back for an oval, black metal F-plate - they're everywhere.  I have super happy family memories of motor coaching when I was a kid - ours was a converted school bus that said 'Kurta's Kruiser' across the front, and we travelled all over the country in it.  The best of times.
