How where they both right and wrong? Having worked with Hill for years, there are statements and omissions that merit attention.<\/p>\n<p>Hill was absolutely NOT the pioneer of the concept of manufactured housing shows, as MHI asserts. Oddly, by saying that, MHI undermined some of their own institutional history from the industry\u2019s glory days. More on that in a planned future article.<\/p>\n<p>Before proceeding, a brief \u2018stating the obvious\u2019 admission and observation. If someone took only the bad or embarrassing things about this writer and put it into an article, whispers, or talk, it <em>could sound bad.<\/em> On the flip side, if someone only took the good parts of what this writer has done, said, or achieved and put that into an article, book, video, or talk, it could sound <em>impressive<\/em>. The truth is somewhere in between. Each soul has something done right. Each soul born into this world, with but a few exceptions, has done something <em>wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hill was pro-manufactured housing. But he knew things about the industry that he did not want to reveal because it might be associated with him while he was alive. Hill himself said to this writer for MHProNews that he didn\u2019t start the manufactured housing shows, such as the Louisville Show. The Louisville Show was the product of the predecessor of the Manufactured Housing Institute. MHI, in giving false history \u2013 even if it was meant to \u2018honor\u2019 Hill, was robbing Hill of the truth, and robbing themselves of their own history. Why would they do that? Some speculate it is because the staff at MHI have very little connection with the history of the industry. Some say it is laziness on the part of the staff. There are other possible motives, such as avoiding the incredible highs that used to occur in the early days of the industry when the forerunning of MHI \u2013 the Mobile Homes Manufacturers Association (MHMA)\u00a0\u2013 existed.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/whos-who-at-manufactured-housing-state-associations-per-manufactured-housing-institute-mhi-others-with-mhi-official-history-per-al-hesselbart-claims-tips-views-plus-mhville-markets-u\/\">MHI\u2019s own (arguably flawed) history of that industry trade group disproves<\/a> their claim that Hill \u201cpioneered\u201d manufactured housing trade shows. Hill did no such thing.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/whos-who-at-manufactured-housing-state-associations-per-manufactured-housing-institute-mhi-others-with-mhi-official-history-per-al-hesselbart-claims-tips-views-plus-mhville-markets-u\/\">MHI\u2019s \u201chistory\u201d by Al Hesselbart (see Part II<\/a><em>).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mobile Homes Manufacturers Association (MHMA) formed in August, 1936, as the Trailer Coach Manufacturers Association, and headquartered first in Detroit and then moved to Chicago in 1938, represented the industry in the Midwest and East. Seeds of this organization were first planted at the Tin Can Tourists convention at Grand Rapids, Mich. in 1935. MHMA held its first show in August 1939, at Manistee, Mich. Twenty-eight manufacturers showed 95 models. The MHMA developed a set of standards for mechanical and material components in 1958. The national headquarters was moved to Chantilly, Va. in 1972, and to Washington D.C. in 1974. MHMA\u2019s offices became MHI national headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MHI\u2019s faux pas merits the definition of the French phrase as used in English.<\/p>\n<p>Per <em>Oxford Languages<\/em><em>, a faux pas is: \u201c<\/em>an\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS942US942&amp;sxsrf=AB5stBjDdw6MyA0A8OApTsfgvC4F2E7ksA:1689337151254&amp;q=embarrassing&amp;si=ACFMAn9IMdf-m8dGI-RtPy6zxE7lmcKA5fDXR1X9X4WkGqZGaOPQCgiWNdtchkcoH_6DqJwMYaXiFcGjt8vtSuQU8M8fzl99qWtK3ioWUWrx7sBs5aTdQUE%3D&amp;expnd=1\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiNr7mml46AAxXGSTABHSwyCCcQyecJegQIMBAJ\">embarrassing<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS942US942&amp;sxsrf=AB5stBjDdw6MyA0A8OApTsfgvC4F2E7ksA:1689337151254&amp;q=tactless&amp;si=ACFMAn-fuhiZynqzEWN5DhRvBVhtutx7jylNXnUJQNoMLCLH4VYhLEsBXb7OqERvrNqJQ93MJDTx6-X03C7yXaFUT1g_fWzD0w%3D%3D&amp;expnd=1\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiNr7mml46AAxXGSTABHSwyCCcQyecJegQIMBAK\">tactless<\/a><\/u>\u00a0act or\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS942US942&amp;sxsrf=AB5stBjDdw6MyA0A8OApTsfgvC4F2E7ksA:1689337151254&amp;q=remark&amp;si=ACFMAn8Vh8Mk37drt2pTIRWqgL6eQRjBMeCreNu5v04hDaDL1gHoOvSrchO0V8N3807SZiA1Cj9HQfLMCNhOuDmr6A1Af9bPvg%3D%3D&amp;expnd=1\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiNr7mml46AAxXGSTABHSwyCCcQyecJegQIMBAL\">remark<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in a social situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, more on Hill\u2019s passage another time, but in a way that no one else in manufactured housing today is likely to tell his story. Hill personally asked this writer to do his obituary before he died. It was <em>MHProNews\u2019<\/em> view that it was best to wait until others have written whatever they chose to about Hill before we weighed in on insights Hill shared. Because some of them may rock certain people and organizations in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Previewing the Fleetwood Homes Saga<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a few people who have literally lived through all of manufactured housing history as adults.
