Not a bad idea, sounds like fun and informative too.
I'm in.
Lets see, 52 year old sales manager for an unique R.V. dealership. Unique in so
far as the comapny started in business 19 years ago on the service end servicing
the "special" GMC
motorhome. We bought the molds from GM, and today are the only source of parts for
the "classic" GMC motorhome and the main restoration facility. In addition to this
we carry a full line of class A, class C, 5th wheel, and travel trailer
recreational vehicles. I haven't been here since day one I'm a relative new comer
here, but have been in R.V. sales for over 10 years. Before that, well I'm a
former military officer, air force pilot. I've owned two other busess in my life:
a 1971 Westy, and a 1966 Westy splitty (I wish I still had it too.), also owned a
1963 bug. I'm married to a lovely woman who is somewhat younger than myself and
has blessed me with 3 wonderful boys: 10, 7, and 5. Wonder what she thinks about
her 52 year old sales manager husband who spends too many evenings lying on the
garage floor under his VW vanagon? I never was a hippie. During those years I
served 3 tours in Loas, Cambodia, Thiland, and SVN, either first riding in Jolly
Green Giants and C-130's as a para-jumper or later driving a Skyraider then a F-4
Phantom.
Well that's not all, but it's most of it. Today my greatest joys are my wife, my
boys, seeing the smile on folks as they roll out in their own special
"adventure-machine" and working on, and yes sometimes even driving my 1984 VW
Vanagon weekender.
Nice to meet ya all
