Chris:
Is it possible that that bus and its owner were from Wisconsin? I got
some nice pics of one back in 2001 at Buses no Where near the bridge (or
something like that in Missouri.) It was a piece of work. Also had a
hand starter - recoil! Was that the same one? I'll put some pics of it
up on the server. WHAT! NO SERVER to post pics on? What's with you guys?
This is 2004!  I'll  put it up on TheSamba.com.
