Helen, What you spoke of regarding the support that such a retirement place would need it so correct. Actors and Actress who are Screen Actors Guild members have a retirement home somewhere in California and even here in Ohio, in Sandusky in fact, there is a Soldiers and Sailors retirment community. So this wonderful idea of a place for we "folkies" is not only plausible, it's down right exciting! In my former business working years, I was a real estate agent for many years and quite successful. (But that was over 30 years ago, so I know the market is totaly different now.) I mention that only because I learned quite a few good points about human nature. ONE RETIREMENT CAMP CANNOT BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE! What I mean is, and here is the fun of this thought--sort of like what the KOA campgrounds used to have. Good sites and something you could count on, no BAD SURPRISES, but interesting ones sometimes. I can vision a series of such places where one buys a membership and can move from camp (cabins not just trailers since I 've already done that and I'm too old to do it again--too much work). Then the thought occurs, there are plenty of old and probably shut down former camps that could be resurrected as "permanent living quarters", but the needed operative would be the support system for getting around in maybe a wheel-chair (ramps) etc. Seriously ill people need medical support not friendship, so they would not necessarily be comfortable in a "camp"--but go to a real nursing home. If we folkies are to be realistic, really ill people won't be playing much music. I WRITING A BOOK. I'm sorry. I do know of a great site near Ligonier, Pa. on a mountain top that would fit. Basic things needed, --clean water supply that doesn't dry up in the summer nor freeze up in the winter. 2. A few very wealthy members who can help out when the money of the camp members gets short (to keep the bills paid for the camp---operating capital) 3. And a warm place to go to when the mountain gets cold in the wintertime. 4. I've said enough for now!
