RE: [ihc] 6 door school bus Travelall on e-bay.

Ed,

Sorry for the obscure reference, I'm a remarkably illiterate guy but I'm reading Steinbeck's book right now.  (BTW, don't look for it in travel writing, it's usually in with the rest of his books.)

And the internet, coupled with the latency of email, allows us all to know just about everything, now, doesn't it?

The fellow even offered to haul it to your place.  At which time I considered even asking your permission.  FIgured, though, if a random stretch travelall appeared, you wouldn't bat an eye, and might even head to the airport looking for a rider.  :-)

My best to all the Sohms.
Joel
