Malcolm Holser and family,

in Midpines, California, about 30 miles outside of Yosemite Valley, the
single most beautiful place on the planet.  We own a whole raft of VW's
a Toyota Landcruiser, and an Acura Legend.  My father had a VW Beetle,
1952, when I was born, but we went to a 54 Deluxe Microbus (I was the
youngest of seven children).  My first VW was a '57 singlecab.  Currently
we have four "runners" and four non-runners at our place, doing our best
to uphold the tradition of a minimum 1-car-per-acre of rural America.

Our "runners" are:

1980 Vanagon Westfalia -- been all over the US, almost.
1986 vanagon GL -- the "Scout-mobile"
1986 Transporter Kombi Syncro -- a big red beast
1986 Transporter Syncro Doublecab -- beigish-brownish, matches our dirt.

Along with a 1972 Westy, a 1977 bus, a 1981 Vanagon and a 1982 Diesel Westy.

Formerly a Park Ranger in Yosemite, now a computer geek in the silicon
valley, where I go for meetings and such in a small plane.
