I am very grateful for this Vanagon community.  I very much enjoy meeting
the people that I talk to about vanagon over the net.  I was looking so
forward to meeting Boston Bob in person…after having several online
conversations about Vanagons and other interests…but I guess that is not
to be.

Life takes me away from the Vanagon community on occasion, but it always
feels comforting coming back.  With the help of many from this community,
I have learned a lot about the Vanagon.  When I can, I try to share my
experiences to help others as I have been helped.  I am very grateful for
having had the opportunity to learn from Boston Bob.  He greatly enriched
the community with his matter of fact, no nonsense solid advice…which will

live on in the archives.

I don’t know what it is about these vehicles, but everything about them
just makes me feel good...from driving them, to waving to others who drive
them, to talking to people who drive and work on them.

Thank you Bob, I will greatly miss your presence from the Vanagon
community.  And thanks to all those who continue to contribute and enrich
this community...and consequently my life.
