Hello Listees,

I am 47, married, two boys and have been a VW lover since 1968 when I bought
my first beetle (65).  I'm a college professor and received my doctorate in
1993 from the University of Tennessee.  I have owned a 65, 68, 71, beetle, a
1977 Westy (selling this was the biggest mistake in my life), and currently
drive a 1996 Jetta.  I just recently bought my second Westy (81) in Atlanta
Georgia and transported it to WVA where I currently live.  I have taken this
on a my mid-life project.  I went south to find a Westy with NO rust.

I am taking my time on this project and sometimes feel I have "bit off more
than I can chew" but, with the help of the list, I have succeeded in
accomplishing many things I thought were beyond my capabilities.

I enjoy playing acoustic guitar (25 yrs), attending Old Time Music
Festivals, and fly-fishing (I currently teach a Fly Fishing course at my
College).  I, like  many others, only allow Neil Young and CSNY to be played
in my van.  Nothing like going down the road in your Westy listening to Neil
sing....."Long May She Run."

I really enjoy this list and am looking forward to meeting some of you in
the future.  Thanks to all that have helped me!

Scott
