Besides pioneering the Subie conversion and helping
so many through that list, he holds another "first."

At Syncro de Mayo '04, he snapped an axle up on the mtn.
He called Van-Cafe right then on his cell, and back in
camp reported that he'd have a replacement the next
morning.  Sure enough, the Van-Cafe goodie truck arrived
and several helped Warren get the new axle in.

Since then broken axles on "over-powered" Vanagons
have become common, but as I remember, Warren was
there first.  He will be missed.
