Hey, we thought this was a great idea 24 years ago and did it, and have 
relished the memories of our 4.5 months in Europe in our brand new Westy 
ever since.

BTW, we're also still relishing the Westy itself.  Recently rehabbed it 
and it looks and runs just great after all these years.  And one last 
BTW, I was in Europe on business last week and got a chance to revisit
