My friends,

Many years ago, we had a storyteller in the VW community. You may have heard of him. Bob Hoover (no, not the airplane guy. The other one.) Bob could really spin a tale. He also was reasonably knowledgeable in things mechanical. If you are inclined, you can read a bunch of his stuff here: <http://bobhooversblog.blogspot.com/>

Every year, I would write Bob and ask his permission to repost the following. It got to the point where he would send permission before I remembered that it was time to ask. We lost Bob a year and a half ago. I can't ask anymore. I miss that.

I don't have his permission to post on these lists, just on WetWesties, but I don't think Bob would mind that I pointed to his blog entry.

Go read a story. Read it aloud to your kids. They WILL remember. (http://badgopher.com/search/hoover )

Merry Christmas my friends.
