Thank you ~ I don't get here often and so missed that thread .

He was always a nice man ready to help out .

About the VW's , we had a 1954 Typ II " Kombi " in New England back in '57 or so , I well remember riding all 6 of us kids in it .

I had old VW Beetles back when a Split Window was just another $150 car , few cared , I was one of those who cared and dedicated most of my life to air cooled VW's , imported early models from Japan , Italy , England and so on back when the car cost less than the shipping .

My son came home from the hospital he was born in , IIRC , in my '55 Euro Spec. # 117 DeLuxe sunshine roof Beetle in 1979......I prolly should fixed the torn canvas sunroof but Cali. never gets overly cold and the heater works well on all my VW's

I ran an Indie VW Shop and Junkyard during the glory years and miss it greatly .

Whilst driving my '66 Typ II Squareback to Guatemala , I passed through Pueblo , Mexico where they built VW's for decades .

Enough boring memories , I'm now a DieselHead and plan to remain so until I die .
