Greetings Gang,

   As some of you remember I purchased a salvage 91 Vanagon Carat  May
of 97 and finished the rebuild last November.  I named the van "Lazarus"
after the biblical character who was "raised from the dead"  The story
is chronicled in the archives.  I've put 30,000 miles on the van to date
and really enjoy it.

As you'll recall I moved to Peace River Alberta , from Ohio back in
May.  I'll be moving with my new wife and kids to Seattle on October
26.  I'm really looking forward to being back in Seattle. It's my
favorite place to live, and I have family and friends their too.

    My wife and I flew to  Seattle a couple of weeks ago; I saw so many
Vanagons.  I'm also looking forward to being in a Vanagon friendly
city.  Up here and in Ohio, and many places they are sparse, so the
local parts shops of course have nothing for them. Anyway I'm excited to
be closer to some VW brethern.

    I'll be on the list until Monday or so and then off until I can get
settled.
