Eric is alive and well. Just heard from him yesterday on our Pittsburgh
Vanagon Club emailing list. He's a great guy, helped me put my Bostig in
during the month of May. Without him and Walt Spak, our local branch of
vanagon nuts wouldn't exist to nearly the extent that it does (we're
growing).
I can't thank these guys enough, though i'm not sure if Eric's on this list
again or not.
