Comment by Ash on March 16, 2012 at 16:01: I spoke briefly with Burly today. He was on the way to Don Kendall's place (Victoria). He wanted to give a special shout out to Don for his great hospitality.

Comment by brad on March 16, 2012 at 3:32: I'm sure all the boys are disappointed. What a heartbreaker. Say Hi to Burly and Todd for me. Tell Todd the shop is still standing and the Vanagon is almost done
