My brother Chris - bus lover but not that computer literate is a huge bus
fan.  Has a sweet '85 Westy (GoWesty 2.2) and an '87 Wolfsburg was in the
Guard in the '80's.  Served on the Midgett and a buoy tender at some point.
Lived on Governor's Island for a couple year.  Still talks fondly of his
days in the CG.
