Dear Joel ,I must say you have made my job as Matchmaker (self appointed) very easy. Surely, the perfect Vanagon woman is probably reading this exciting, informative personal profile this very evening. We were planning on posting these on Friday ..but its clear that the enthusiasm for this project is overwhelming...(at least as far as Joel is concerned) We applaude Joels honesty and political committment. Hey Joel,,,where do you live.. and are you willing to drive your Vanagon anywhere for the right match???? sb
