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.
