Hi Volks,

My daughter Libby and I had the opportunity yesterday to meet one of the
List Members, Chuck Hill (IA) and his wife Barb.  What a pleasure!

Chuck offered to meet me at a recommended Mechanics Shop to lend moral
support (and maybe help get the price a little lower on a possible rear
seal replacement :o)  Also had a chance to see his really nice White
Westy Weekender, got to show him my new 89 Westy "Jezebel" and have the
fun of letting people see 2 Westy Pop tops pulling into Burger Joint USA
in the middle of Bodunk, IA.  What a blast.  We had a nice lunch and a
lot of fun talking "shop" about our Vanagons and "the list".

This list is such a nice thing to know about and has some really great
people on it!  Just want you all to know how fortunate I feel To have
all of you as back up in my new adventure of having a Westy!!  More later................

Cheers,

Katy Abbas
