van's rv trailer company

Over 50 Years of Service (I took this straight from the Van's RV website. The things I added in to give you more of an idea of how much the family is involved is in parentheses and is bold.)

It all began with a prescription for health and sunshine for a young Michigan man (my great grandfather, George Canon Van Liew, Sr.). At the encouragement of his doctor, he brought his wife and three sons (my grandfather, George Charles Van Liew, Jr.; and my two great uncles, David Van Liew and Paul Van Liew - Paul works at Van's still) to warm Arizona to begin a new venture in the growing community of the Valley of the Sun. Becoming a pioneer in recreational vehicles in this area, he began a family business (Van's RV Trailer Company) which has served Arizona for 53 years (begun in 1954). Now, years later, we still follow the doctors [sic] prescription for health and sunshine, and additionally the prescription (from our LORD God) for good will and honest dealings with our thousands of customers. We are still a family business, including third generation participation (including my uncle George Charles Van Liew, III, or simply Chuck; my first cousin once removed, Todd Van Liew - Paul's son; and my first cousin once removed-in-law, Kevin Plummer) and have maintained doctor's orders to serve our many friends with fair prices, honest dealings and ongoing award-winning service. May we prescribe to you the good fortune of visiting our dealership with the expectation that you will benefit greatly from the experience and relationship we offer. Our records affirm that we will serve you well. (Whelp, that's my family's business. I didn't even know they had a website until this morning. If you're looking for a trailer, check out Van's RV, located in Suprise, AZ.)

helpin' larry

Larry Van Liew, my uncle, my dad's next oldest brother by 15 months, is an RV repair and handyman. He is really good at what he does; he's quick and knowledgeable. I am not. I am slow and don't know tools. But, I was still asked to come help him yesterday put some metal siding on an RV he was repairing. These pieces of metal were around 30 ft. long. He also had me pick up his daughter Ashley's boyfriend, Tyler, since he is a tall (about my height, 6'2") 15 year old and could help us with the long length. So we helped Larry from 1pm until 3pm out at Van's RV (even though Larry doesn't work for Van's, since it's family owned, he can use space on the lot when needed). It wasn't really that long, just 2 hours, but man was that sun unkind. It must have been around 110 degrees F, and we were in the sun working. The sun was hot, the metal was hot, and we were hot. If you want to make "hot" mean "good looking," by all means, go right ahead, but that's not what I meant. Larry always takes care of his works, and I appreciate that. God has enabled him to be the man he is and to do the work he does, and he does it well. He loves the LORD and leads his family that direction, as well. I am proud of my family.

new version of lifesphoto.com

I have now updated/upgraded www.lifesphoto.com, Amy's Life Story Photography business website. It now has an option for a flash site or an html site, whichever you'd prefer. Eventually I'll be switching over to just the flash site, but I needed to test it out to see how it would go and how people would react to it. So far it's been nothing but positive feedback. Take a look and tell me what you think about the site. You can leave me a comment here, or you can email amy@lifesphoto.com, which is also linked at the bottom of www.lifesphoto.com 's Flash and HTML pages.
