Morning All,
Yes I finally can say I've met at least one Member of POG...
in Person...and Boy O' Boy...is Joe C. ever a doll...!!!
Eric who's bus Joe worked on before he came to me liked him
so much he actually drove him 13 hundred miles to meet me in
Marlton, NJ. at a Diner..and I drove Joe the 50 miles back to my house..
so Eric could get right back on the Interstate and head straight
back for Tn...not having to deal with the intricacies of finding my
house too...Thank goodness for Cell Phones...LOL
Joe is exactly the same age my son would be if he was still with
us...After my husband Leo died my Bobby became my right
arm and for a few days there I almost felt like I had him back...
I know Joe and Jim S. have differences but Jim I hope you let me tell the folks what Joe had to say about me...
Quote..."Finally got to meet Vivian and see her 88 American conversion. I went with the intention of making a social call but she roped me in and worked me like a dog.
I had a lot of fun. Vivian is just what I expected and she has a great bus. I think in great part to all the help and advice she received from many on POG.
Vivian turns out to be quite humble. Quite the craftsman and artist in a wide variety of mediums: jewelry making, painting, miniatures and models not to mention obviously being a very professional driver back in the day. Quite the renaissance girl and at 85 has just as much energy as I.
Her camper is now sporting a new chandelier over the dinette as well as rope lights in the front room windows that it previously did not. "UnQuote"...
Hey, He didn't tell anyone how he hollered at me for being the pack-rat I
can't help being...but anyways he did put in those goodies I
wanted so badly that didn't come in my Le Mirage...
I'm in Joe's financial bracket but we sure do manage to enjoy
our Prevost's as much as any of you do yours...maybe even
more...
I have to find my amenities on the open market...and jury
rig some of the connections but that's OK with me as long as
I can find a way to get them at all...and I have found
everything I wanted most except those wee Curio Cabinets that
go on the ends of the Kitchen Cabinets...They were what first sold
me on Prevost...I love Glitz...so I'll be on a hunt
for some way to get them...I may eventually have to go the
conventional way there but I'll keep at it until I finally get
them or find something to do the trick...If anyone didn't like
theirs and they'd fit in my coach I'd buy them in a heartbeat...
Soon as I get all moved into the Pre I'll put pictures up of all
Joe did and more...
I won't get to the Rally in Oct. I'll be in Fl. by then...but
I hope I can make the next one when I'll be more familiar with
my Coach too...but I tell you I couldn't be happier...!!!
It drives like a dream...!!!..Puts all the rattle trap busses except the MCI
Hounds I used to drive to shame...It may ONLY be an 88... to most of you
folks but to me it's over 20 years newer than any of the busses
I drove commercially for 19 years...It's my long dreamed of
"Palace on Wheels" ... with everything I'd wanted in it plus
much, much more than I ever expected to get...
I named her ..."JourneyOne's Cruiser"...
Blessings, Safe Driving and Love to All...Always Viv..
PS: I'm going to try to attach a pic of the Nose. Forget it, I can't do it here..maybe Jim will help me for next time...but you can see it if you click on this URL...
