Subject:Two Bobs Passing in the Night (slim VW content)
From:Bob Hufford

I was towing my '60 DD Panel in from where it's been parked the last two 
years ("awaiting restoration") and, as I'm tooling down the highway, kids 
are passing me in their low-rider pickups, giving me friendly waves, 
flashing peace signs and the like.  Suddenly I see *many* flashing red 
lights in the opposite lane up ahead.  Thinking it was an accident, I 
slow down.  Then I realize that it's the "Bob Dole Motorcade" (he arrived 
in Springfield, heading for Branson).  All sorts of police, highway 
patrol, sheriff and Secret Service vehicles.  And a caravan of Ford 
Aerostars ... with me and my Micro heading in the opposite direction.  
Must mean somethin' ...  ;-)
