Me???

I'd love to go to BBtB, but unfortunately I'm at least 5000 miles from
there, plus a 7-hour ferry across the Gulf of St. Lawrence that doesn't run
reliably in winter!  Not to mention that my van hasn't run properly in a
year and is yet again in the shop.  I'm afraid I won't be there!

But whoever is there, please say hello to Bev and Larry and Maggie and Barb
Cotton and Loren and anyone else I know who is there!  I miss seeing
vanagon people.

If my van ever gets fixed, hopefully I'll drive down again, and actually be
able to get to the west coast and see some of the folks out there...

And if my van doesn't ever get fixed, does anyone know of a nice camper for
sale, in GOOD condition, that doesn't break down all the time?  If only my
brother-in-law would sell me his, an '82 with 70K miles on it!  But he's
attached to it, as all good vanagonauts should be...
