Dear Vanagon List & Those Who Inquired:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An emptiness exists where there once was a big red bus... :(
The proud new owners were as ecstatic as we were somber to see her go.
Thanx to all for a few years worth of priceless "list-advice", humor,
and espirit de corps !
We'll be unsubscribing as it is too difficult to read w/o the WWW.
We'll be back some day soon either w/ a Tri-Star or Caravelle from SA!
