Not so sure that "They have always tried to put brands together because of the service work" or not. We were at the first 2 Rally's at Goshen and I understand the R-Pods being together since they do not take up as much room as the 40'ers...but remember that they are paying the same as all of the big rigs for the Rally.
There is an effort to get as many of the Original 14 from the 1st "International F.R.O.G. Rally" in Branson, MO. in May 2011, because if that Rally was International #1...this year would be "F.R.O.G. International #5".
Remembering back Iggy had 2 couples from Canada and ooooooo by the way........there was a couple from Portugal there. It has been asked before....."HOW MUCH MORE INTERNATIONAL CAN WE GET?"
Looking forward to seeing the ole friends and meeting LOTS of new friends, but really looking forward to seeing as many of the Original 14 that can be there. Some we have seen many times over the years, but some that we have not seen since may 2011.
Travel safe everyone.

The pictures are of that Original 14 couples at Branson, MO. and of "Iggy", the reason that we are all here as a group.

Wrong rally Glenn. This is not about the Goshen rally.

[Iggy]

We were a motley crew.

[Oakman]

OMG, I forgot how young Carson was back then. FYI, in the back row being held.

Looking good Iggy.

[Iggy]

Here is the woman's one

[BOBFIDY]

All looking good except in the screening process all of the colors add to the cost big time. Using the F.R.O.G. logo in 3 colors and the verbage we can get them done for $10.00 each. I will check today about digital processing with the picture.

Greeting Bob! Pandra & I are in the front row far right side in the pic that is above Iggys'. We are in the back row far right side in the Tee shirt pic. Let us know what the cost will be and we'll order or see you in Branson. Hey, thanks for coming up with this idea for a shirt. I still wear my RVW tee & frog cap camping & rv shows.

And of course Bob Fields who was with Concertone at the time and stayed in a cabin at ABC.
I thought Walke had to cancel and I thought GeorgieGirl also had to cancel because of serious health issues in the family. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Sorry you can’t make it to Goshen Ibrjet, you will be missed.

Thanks for updating the list Oakman.
I missed Tarheel Jerry and Ann from Charlotte NC

Iggy,the back of the shirt is getting (confused)! You have (2) different issues here,one being (The Start of FROG) the other is (!st Frog Rally)! Pond Lady gave FROG its Name and Lots of FRF Members had input,they just didn't Attend the 1st Frog Rally! Youroo!!

Glad I stumbled upon this thread and see my wife & me were remembered as part of the first group that met (I am second from the left).

Also glad we could supply the refreshments and Mrs. Fields Cookies!

Leaving early was a massive drag. We drove too many miles to stay so short a time. Good thing the seats in our conversion van were like sitting on our comfy sofa! Also for those that remember, we smuggled our Jack Russell Terrier (Jack) into the cabin (against the rules). Jack is still with us at 18 years old!

While I have been gone from Concertone for a while now, I am currently working with (not for) the supplier of the new iRV radios that replaced the Concertone/ Genesis Units by representing them in the aftermarket. So if you know anyone that needs a Concertone or Genesis plug & play replacement not covered by warranty, please send them my way.

I had attended the first Goshen FROG rally but have not been back since. I am considering this year and if so, look forward to seeing you all again!

FYI - and to be perfectly clear, iRV is in no way related or associated with Concertone/Genesis.

How can we not remember you Bob and your wife.
It would be cool if you were able to attend the rally.
They do have a vendor area but then that is work.
Anyway we will be the one in the Forest River Georgetown Motorhome.
Just look for my Mini RED FROG Mobile.

We did have the first rally in May 2011. FROG started here on this forum with many that helped get things hopping. Pond Lady for the FROG idea and all others. Thank you all that helped FROG get out of the pond.
Here are some of the original signs and ideas.

Anyway, I made the shirts for my DW and I. If the group comes up with a generic shirt I will also get it.

Thanks

[Iggy]

Found these pictures that were made for the 2011 FROG rally.
Don't know who made them but they were in the original group that talked about the rally.
Thank you.
