Sorry Joy. One of my more lofty goals in this life is to finish it without
photographic evidence of my existence...
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi all,
Well, I went to check a couple of you on the VW Facebook website yesterday,
and I was really wowed by the number of people who have sent in their
photos. It's getting longer and longer, that page of mug shots, I love it!
Some good looking folks out there, too. Who knew vanagonauts could look
like that? Not mentioning names here, though...
But there seem to be a lot of folks who are still too shy to show their
faces. Come on, guys, you know who you are. You know, if you post your
prose, you gotta post your pix!
Not to point fingers too much - but for starters, I think anyone who sends
even more nonsense to the list than I do has to post a picture. So, you
BurningVan folks, let's get to it!
And anyone who's a recognized authority on this list, on whom we all depend
for sage advice, or repairs, or parts, ought to show off his beauty too. I
will list names here. Bob Donalds, where's your photo? Mark Drillock?
Dennis Haynes? Ken Wilford? (Ron Salmon is there 'cause I put his picture
up.) And lots of others - please think I meant to offend your skills if I
forgot to mention you here!
Now how about you folks who organize great vanagon events, where are your
photos? The Buses by the Beach crew isn't well represented here - Brien
Dews (and Keagan the wunderkind, and Sarah and Ellie too), and Todd Olson,
and Billy whose last name I can never remember? Roger and Mary have their
photos up, why not you? Now that I've talked up Keagan, people want to see
his picture too, you know! I might have to drag out my photos of the Dews
family if you don't do it yourselves.
I'm afraid I don't know who organizes EveryBus, or Buses by the Bridge, so I
don't know if you're up there already. And BusFusion is represented -
thanks, Frank and Rita! Plus the many, many other events that I haven't
been to (yet).
And all you nice people who were so sympathetic (or funny) about my broken
foot (which, BTW, is doing very well) - I'd love to know who you are!
Stephen Grisanti? George Thorburn? Sam Walters? (well, I know you, but
the other folks don't) Allen Hill? John Rodgers? Mike Miller? (you fall
into two categories in this email, NO excuses for not having a photo
posted!) Robert Fisher? Gary Bawden? Karl Wolz? (yeah, I can find a photo
of you - I just haven't gotten around to it. maybe even of the stupendous
Stephanie...)
And then those folks whose names we see all the time - Jeff Schwaia, Jake de
Villiers, Neil with no last name (musomuso@gmail.com), Kenneth Lewis, Keith
Hughes, Zoltan with no last name (but there's surely only one Zoltan here,
no need to identify email), and lots more whom I'm too lazy to track through
my deleted mail file.
And when you send in those pics, remember, it's YOU we want to see! Not
your van, not the beautiful landscape, not how glamorous you look up on
stage surrounded by a lot of musical instruments and amps and the other
members of your band. We want to recognize you when we run into you in a
campground, from that lovely shot of you on the VW facebook!
To look at everyone else and get inspired by their beauty, go to
http://roadhaus.com/face_book.html/ And at the top of that page is a link
you can use to enter your own photos and information.
We can't wait to see you!
Joy
