#44 Poignant Historical Perspective
A little Wisconsin history and it's relevance to those of us living here today.
Well, now you know. Wisconsin in the early 20th Century was the home of huge International Industry, but years of Socialist leaning politicians have chased them all away... as they say, the problem with Socialism is eventually, you run out of other people's money.
I'm currently working on buttoning up the systems on a '70 29 footer for camping in 2012.
I was just editing links and found your post. I hope all is well with you (and that you have been getting out since your last post). Let us know what you are up to! Frank fixed our trailer a little over a year ago and it is S-W-E-E-T!!! TTYL, Mary

To be honest, I did not know Wisconsin had all the problems Dr. Tim addressed. Interesting read.

Hi Tom,

Hope all is well with you!
