OWEN AND RITA MARSH
Past President of Monaco International

Responsible for organizing rallies

Monaco background:  Rita and I have been members of FMCA since 1991, and joined Monaco International in 1995.  At this time we became active in our local chapter, Monaco Wan-na-gos

Where I was elected as alternative nat’l director in 2002. We have been members of Travelers

And Monaco’s in Motion.  In 2001 we were selected as Wagonmasters to the Monaco International Prerally in Stillwater, Ok.  We gained an enormous amount of education into the workings of a rally and the importance of being a liaison between Monaco and Monaco International.  We had responsibilities of securing the location, food, entertainment, decorating, and assembling committees to make this all happen.  The only thing we had no control of was the weather.  I worked directly with Monaco staff coordinating activity and meeting rooms, venders and monies.  Since 1995, we have missed only one prerally.  I consider Rita a real asset and her experiences in decorating the 2000 Maine and Okla. Rally have shown her desire to work and meet others.  She is not afraid to speak or sing when needed.  Rita and I have been married 26 years and travel with our miniature schnauzer named “Monaco”

 Personal Background:  In the early 70s I worked for Stratoflex where I served as West Coast Sales Manager, working with notable corporations as United Airlines, Lockheed and Douglas Aircraft, Freightliner, Peterbilt and others.  I returned to Texas and started my own business as a sales representative for furniture and related lines.  I did this until 1977.  In 1976, I married Rita and we purchased a franchise decorating business Decorating Den. During our five year relationship I served on the Board of Directors and in 1978 we were selected as Franchise Owners of the year. We were one of the top10 producers for five years. 

In 1983, we left the franchise and started our own Independent Design firm Decorating Dimensions.  In 1991, I started Marsh Motorhome Rental in Houston.  The business grew so quickly, I had to leave the sales part of Decorating Dimensions to Rita.  While I still managed the Design firm, I was also very involved in the Public relations and maintaining of our coaches.  Along with having a strong corporation rental base, I was proud of the clients that rented from us such as the NBA, Movie Studios, Wheel of Fortune, Texaco and NBC Broadcasting.
