ahhh....but i said she signed a contract...i said nothing about being paid...her reward is not monetary, but as you mention, the generation of good vibes....she might even get people to understand why we only go 25 mph up hill!

If she's getting paid to research and write the articles, then p'raps
we should be "paid" for being her research assistants.

OTOH, it's a good excuse for generating positive publicity/knowledge

>a friend of mine just signed a contract to write a number of articles for a major encyclopedia.  Yeah...so...where is the vanagon content?  one article is "the VW Camper Van."  She is in need of any info pertaining to the history or culture surrounding our beloved boxes, so if you have anything in digital form, please p-mail me a copy so i may forward it to her.  BTW...she and her husband bought a 72 adventure wagon to restore after spending a weekend with us in our westy, so she is indeed a part of the culture.
