The RV Book Fair with Lou Areas and Verlin Darrow

Today, we’re excited to welcome Lou Areas, who takes us back to 1985 and his very first international flight aboard a Pan Am 747. In this personal and nostalgic story, Lou reflects on how a single journey—from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires—sparked a lifelong passion for aviation, travel, and culture. We also welcome author Verlin Darrow, who shares a vivid childhood memory from California. In this heartfelt and reflective story, Verlin recalls the evening his father invited his boss over for dinner—a moment filled with tension, curiosity, and quiet lessons that stayed with him long into adulthood.
