Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Oh, how we enjoyed so many Nomad Trailer Club campfires together with Dennis playing along on his guitar. He took his duties as Wagon Master seriously, even meeting us at the entrance of the campground and leading us to our site. Then, too, there was the annual Woodlands camp-out and yard sale. Always good times; so many good memories. Again, condolences to the family. Kitty - Posted by: Kitty Piper () on: Jan 20, 2018
