Well, after much thought and emotion I have decided that I'm going to
release my '85 to a new owner. It was my first Vanagon and I really wanted
to get it going again but with Grover and now Patty's purchase of the '78 I
just don't have the time or resources to see that dream to fruition.

So I have decided that the '85 is going to go live with a good friend of
mine. He has been wanting a Vanagon for some time now (actually since
joining me in Grand Rapids to get the engine put back in Grover). He and his
family have really helped me out during some tough times and I figured what
better way than to get him a Vanagon that needs just a bit of work and free
up some time and space for myself.

Why I felt the need to share this - I don't really know - maybe because it
was such a bitter sweet decision. I love that bus - I know it will be in
good hands.
