Good Bye Mr.Busch
When I first became aware of you it was in regard to love of 2 amendment
extras on your Vanagon
I thought about you telling stories under the stars and wondered if we
would ever find our Vangons parked around the same camp fire --
That never happened - which is my loss as I will not hear your stories -
In Canada we do not have such amendments to adorn our Vanagons - we can
only rely on stories told by our southern compatriots who are also standing
proudly by their Flag and Country --
I have many Canadian friends who enjoy PAL privileges and I like to listen
to their stories even though they do not own Vanagons --
That you were licenced for both made you special --
Enjoy that place on the other side of here --
