"LD caravan - exclusion" March 28, 2006, 10:33:22 am Yahoo Message Number: 64684HH doesn't "flatly write" that the 'extreme southwest location' excludes him from LD-Caravan. He says "he's excluded...the reason doesn't matter". [Although I'm 400-1000 miles from most SC-LD "Round UP" meeting sites, I joined them.] See ya' in San Marcos, TX--4-20. Sue Merritt, Anchorage, AK, and I visited the LD factory-showroom and talked to Ed Newell earlier this month on March 16 and he said that the "LD Caravan takes only 1st-time LD owners because LD-company sponsors the Caravan". [i.e. Sponsors--provide monetary support (and money talks). He cited 2-related examples]. LD-mothership actually has the "First owner (read bought new LD from factory---where else?] policy" requirement for the LD Caravan group.
