Sierra Nevada Airstreams -|- Memories

Enjoyment of the whispering winds, the zephyrs, the airstreams of the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin areas of the United States in a recreational vehicle.

2005 - 50th Anniversary

Wally Byam Caravan Club International

50 years of Airstreaming

The Harrison and Leipper families have been members of WBCCI continuously since it's inception in 1955. All members of the Leipper family have been members of WBCCI. Dale Leipper and Virginia Harrison Leipper, (#1183) daughter of Bryan and Jo Harrison who was a second generation Airstreamer. Virginia's children are third generation Airstreamers. Bryan Leipper (#772), Diane Leipper (#772), and Anita Leipper (#5502), are current WBCCI members as of 2011. Janet Leipper Smith (#9814) was also a member. It looks like Janet's daughter and son-in-law are catching aluminitus and may become the fourth generation of Airstreamers in our family. In 2005, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International we compiled photos, documents and other materials from the family archives and posted it here on this website.
