Hi All, I just got some bad news. VW Bus Heaven in Pembroke, MA was destroyed by fire last week. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. The fire started in the middle of night. The cause of the fire is under investigation and is believed to be electrical in nature. The worst part of the whole ordeal, besides the loss of Bill and Dots just completed high-roof Vanagon camper, is the lack of fire insurance. Bill gave me a quick run down of what he believes was lost; five personal vehicles, two customer cars and 300,00 dollars worth of inventory. Bill says that for now he's not sure what the future of Bus Heaven is but he is hopeful to reopen some time soon. The business phone should be reconnected this week with an answering machine so anyone will be able to contact them if they want to offer support. Our prayers and hopes go out to Bill and Dot for a quick recovery. Take care. -- -Jim DiGennaro, LiMBO/SOI Web keeper '93 Green Eurovan MV 'The EuroTurtle Van' '90 Jetta (Brides car) '92 Scamp Trailer 'The Turtle's Egg' ICQ# 5534528 AOL IM ID: MrVWDJ LiMBO LINE: (413) 743-1814 URL: http://www.bcn.net/~limbo/SOI 'Transporters By The Tunnel' - A fun camping event ' held July 19th-21st |
