[Vision2020] Daily News OUR VIEW: UI's disdain for citizenswho fund it is appalling

[Ron Force]

Gaylord Maxwell was the organizer of the conferences. He passed away in '09, so 
the '08 conference at LCSC was the last. I heard that the last conference 
attracted less than half the business of the previous year, probably due to the 
recession and the high gas prices in '08.

I also heard that the UI let it expire because most of the profits went to the 
organizer and the UI lost money on the deal.

A question: who was behind the RV life on wheels (or whatever-- can't 
remember the name exactly) in the shift down to LCSC?
