JoesVan:  Joe was Nancy's grandfather - the original owner in 1987 in
Columbus Ohio.  Her Mom had it from '94  'til 2004.  We got it then.
JoesVan is a very well taken care of family member.  I let our 15 year old
daughter Katharine drive it up our lane the other day and it occured to me
she was the 4th generation to pilot the bus.

Aardvark:  Scotty ('86 Tico Westy) and I were in Detroit to check out the
'79.  It had sat so long a dead opossum was half under it.  I told Scotty to
watch his step as we excitedly looked over the bus.  He looked down and
said:  "Yew!  What is that, an Aardvark?"
