Yes, Lu is my husband and he has the '66 red/white Sundial camper that Paul 
owned before he sold it to Steve and Sharon.   Lu named it Arlo after Arlo 
Guthrie.
My pink/white bus (Roxy) is a 21-window bus and have had her for almost four 
years.     
Will you be at Paul's show?   Or Bug Swarm next month?   We will be at both and 
will have to make a point of meeting you.

So, is Lu your husband Jane?
Never met ya'll.
It's a pink 23 right?

Paul, can't thank you enough for selling the '66 to Steve and Sharon and doubly 
thanks to Sharon and Steve for selling it to Lu.   He loves that bus and we had 
the best time on our trip to CO with S/S.    Even the breakdows were a lot of 
fun at least for Sharon and me.   Can't wait for the next road trip.
