M o s t of them were Winter Texans wanting to check out the latest in mobile home styling, like H a r o l d B a r s t o w and friend S h i r l e y M i c h a e l from Bentsen Grove R e s o r t in Palmview. The couple, both of whom come from Wisconsin communities, were surprised when they won a prize in a drawing right after they arrived. Barstow said he discovered the “Valley” after coming to McAllen eight years ago to go caravanning into Mexico. He recalled that the group was met by bandits after crossing at Reynosa, which he said surprised the wagon master. However, they spent 42 days traipsing over much of Mexico. Michael said, she has gotten used to the warm weather (in winter). She likes the “garbage can warning,” on TV when breezy conditions are coming. They plan to head out for Maryland in a couple of weeks to see a grandchild, before ending up back in Wisconsin. Two visitors from Tropic Star RV & MH Resort in Pharr, Lynn Meikle, from Cherokee, Iowa, and Bonnie Jo Marth, of Mason City, Iowa, came to see the new models. “I like to see what’s new,” said Marth, who has her own place at the Shirley Michael and Harold Barstow, from Bentsen Grove Resort try out the living room in one of the Clayton Homes models during the company’s 30th anniversary celebration on Saturday. Taking a break for a corndog on the office porch of Clayton Homes were Lynn Meikle and Bonnie Jo Marth, from Tropic Star RV & MH Resort. See CLAYTON pg. 8
