I was introduced to Newell Gurus by Ron Skeen the Friday night before his motorcycle accident. He stopped by our motor home while in Santa Fe Skies RV Park and introduced himself. Since then he and Jean have become very good friends and plan on coming back next year and spending a month together.

I am retired and Penny and I bought our first MH a 33 foot 94 Beaver Patroit, I then saw a 86 40 foot Newell for sale and fell in love with it so we bought it. (most people do not buy an older coach then the one they currently have, but the quality of that coach was far beyond the one we had. We then bought our 3rd and current MH 98 45 foot no slides from Bob Stone (who lived 5 miles from us and unfortunately passed away from cancer a couple of years ago).

We live in Anna TX have 3 children and 9 Grand children. I try to play golf, but have finally decided I will never join the tour. Penny is evolved with many crafts and our grandchildren. We have been married for 53 years and going strong.

I am very impressed with the love that so many of you have shown for Ron and Jean during his accident. I am looking forward to being part of the Newell Gurus it is a great group.
