Hmmm, lots of interesting replies to this one.


Age:  55


VWs:


61 beetle in 68, just before I went in the Navy.  Left it with my parents, don't know what happened to it.


Spent 22 years in the Navy, owned 6 or 8 different bugs in 6 or 8 diferent countries.  I always looked for a VW when I got transferred.


In 1972 I returned from Vietnam with a friend who had a 1970 camper and we spent, what was possibly the best, 30 days of our lives roaming around California.


Fast forward to 2004.  I'm finally fully retired and I bought an 85 GL in February.


I can't seem to leave it parked, nor wipe the smile off my face while I'm driving around the backwoods where I live.


I also enjoy the banter, stories, and expertise of this list.


Thanx,


Charlie Swanson
Lucasville, Ohio
