No longer birdless! - KP Marsh - 08-24-2005 04:43 Hey everybody, Ken & Patti Marsh here. We’ve been “wannabes” for several years and are now finally able to announce that we have joined the ranks of proud bird owners. Our 3 year odyssey towards the goal of full-timing after retirement in March of ’07 just took a GIANT leap forward. The house is sold and the bird is bought. :o) Here is the link to the bird we just purchased from Mr. Olivers: http://www.mrolivers.com/website_slot_01_1desc.htm We especially want to thank Ralph Fullenwider for hot-footing it down to Mr. Olivers the very next morning after we called him about doing the pre-purchase inspection for us. He gave her his usual thorough going over (including sleeping in her overnight and using her wonderful garden-tub shower) and called us with his verbal report. “This coach has really been taken care of and she is one of the sweetest ’89 wide bodies I’ve seen.” Ralph’s quick response and thorough inspection enabled us to move quickly and close the deal before someone else beat us to her. Thanks Ralph, you dah man! Her name is ToWanda (any of you who have seen “Fried Green Tomatoes” will recognize it) and she will be spending this winter @ Ralph & Charlotte’s. This is so that Ralph and Ernie can do some upgrades and modifications for us over the course of the winter. We will be going down to Ralph’s toward the end of October, after Patti has recovered from knee surgery enough to be able to drive. We will be visiting with both Ralph and Ernie about our “we want” list for ToWanda. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get the opportunity to meet a few of the Texas Birds during the week we will be down there. In the meantime, we are Ken & Patti Marsh Mpls ~ Keepin' our eye on the prize Full-timing as of March '07 ToWanda'89WLWB40ft [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] No longer birdless! - mbulriss - 08-24-2005 05:52 Welcome Ken and Patti! Congratulations! You apparently got a real nice "new to you" 89 PT40, since Ralph was raving about it to me when he and I talked by phone. As far as the pending upgrades, Ralph is about the only guy I will let work on my Bird without me being around to watch. Hope to see you at a Lone Star Birds event. Check the schedule in the Files under Rally Information.

Several of our Lone Star Birds members have purchased from Mr. Oliver. You can't go wrong with the word of Ralph. He and Ernie can do a lot for you. We have a Holiday Rally down in the Texas Hill Country early December. Why not try to make that one. It's a great event and is hosted by Mike and Sue Bulriss. R.E.
