dear vanagon/gerry et al

when the ad series broke in the new york times i wrote the publisher of the
new york times and he assured me the advertiser had taken great pains to get
a 68 bus... ...
now it is is tv campaign and still the contoversy rages ...
so i called the media reps at bank of america and left a message with them
outlining the details of the argument ...
and letting them know that for the campaign to have credibility they should
stop offending the bus owners who know...
i guess we shall see what the response is ...
hey this vanagon owner is canadian ... i am just having some fun with them
eh ...
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
