Bill Wedenoja (pronounced Wed-in-oia in the US, Vitin-oia I think in
Finland)
and Margie (pronounced Margee) Buckner
Professors of anthropology
Southwest Missouri State University
Springfield, MO

We live in the Ozarks, which is rolling hills, heavily forested, mostly
National Forest, with great state parks (where there are always plenty of
campsites), dozens of lovely canoe streams, cheap living, lots of fiddlers,
and not many people.  Did I mention republicans, fundamentalists,
creationists, rednecks?

A great place for westfalias, although there aren't many at all.  Not even a
VW dealer.

88 Saab 900S (bill's car)
93 Ford escort wagon (margie's car)
91 Acura integra (daughter's car)
88 westy "hoppin' john" (our car)
