Let's Tie It All Together
Wild Wilderness has previously linked the American Recreation
Coalition to the Recreation Roundtable and,
to Senator
Frank Murkowski and his Recreation "Super-bill". More recently, we have
raised unsettling questions concerning the true agenda of US Forest Service Chief of Staff,
Francis Pandolfi, as well as the impartiality of recreation survey
results performed by Roper Starch Worldwide.
Using only those materials contained in the following two
articles, we will try to tie everything together in one neat
package. If you feel we've left a few loose ends
sticking out, we've created a website full of
information to help you gift wrap this story as pretty
as you like.
This first article can be found at RV
America, a recreation industry group with the motto:
| " No matter what your interests or
hobbies, --
you'll enjoy it more with an RV. "

RVers Score Well in Recreation
Roundtable's Index
...The survey shows the public sees recreation improving overall - with
the national average RQI jumping seven points over the previous
year to 107. The index is based on two years of national surveys on
outdoor recreation by Roper Starch Worldwide.
The results were announced by U.S.
Senator Frank Murkowski of
Alaska and Recreation Roundtable Chairman Francis
Pandolfi...
And, this next article can be found at the American
Recreation Coalition website.
OUTDOOR RECREATION PROVEN KEY REMEDY TO SOCIETAL ILLS
People who recreate outdoors on a regular basis, or for whom
outdoor recreation was important while growing up, are more
likely than all others to be completely satisfied with their
lives, according to a new Recreation Roundtable/Roper Starch
Worldwide survey....
"The conclusions Roper has drawn from its survey are very
encouraging," said Francis
Pandolfi, Chairman of the Recreation
Roundtable and President of Times Mirror Magazines...
The Recreation Roundtable, sponsor of the study, is comprised
of 25 leading recreation company executives. The Roundtable
seeks to promote high quality and readily available recreation
opportunities for all Americans...
