Hi All,

Hats off to Bob Hufford and gang in Springfield, Mo for an excellent 2nd 
Annual June Bug Jamboree!  An amazing amount of Bob's Buses made it to 
the show--right into the swap meet!  There were lotsa quality VW's there 
shining in the summer sun.  Buses by Route 66 was also a success.

I did manage to pick up a few goodies.  One item I managed to purchase 
was a Hazet Tourist toolkit, minus most of the tools.  I never imagined 
I'd even find one, so I am still quite excited about it.  Let's just say 
it's a keeper.  Other items include a pair of glass bus taillight 
assemblies, a chrome Splittie Type II gas door/engine hatch key (1st 
chrome one I'd ever seen), and a deluxe bus mirror.  There was an 
interesting 59 Deluxe Sunroof bus and 64? Bug convert.  Both were very 
rough, but very original.  Anyhoot, thanks again to GROOVEN for a great 
show and Bob Hufford for the BBrt66 Campout!  8-)
