Emil and Millie Pauwels of Hendersonville were elected as Family Campers & RVers International Retiree King and Queen for 2015 at the annual Retiree Rally held recently in Tallahassee, Fla.
The organization has several hundred camping chapters across the U.S. and Canada. The Pauwels joined FCRV (originally known as Nation Campers & Hikers Association) in 1989 while living in New York. They had to give up camping due to the time demands of Emil’s fire alarm system company. They rejoined FCRV in 2001 while still in New York. In 2007 they retired and moved to North Carolina, where they joined the Travelling Tarheels Retiree Chapter. Both Emil and Millie enjoy volunteering for Habitat For Humanity. Married for 29 years, the Pauwels have four children and nine grandchildren.
