Up date on the Craig's Coach

[mbulriss]

Wallace -

Since you unfortunately have had recent experience with towing,
inquiring minds want to know which company you have your road service
with? Were you pleased with the towing services you received?
Was it towed or flat-bedded? Did you have to pay any additional for
the towing? What was their reaction to the second call?

Thanks,
Mike Bulriss

with the coach. We indeed did leave San Antonio today after getting
the reservoir neck repaired. It was actually a pin sized hole which I
took a picture of before it was repaired. I cannot in good concience
complain too loudly about them not finding that because it was covered
by a layer of sthyrofoam which was used to seal it in place. The
prior owner did know somthing was wrong because there was a low
coolant code left on the computer from May 30th; he may not have told
buddy gregg and he may have. Short of having the CIA torture him I
doubt that I will ever know.

with a letter congratulating some workers and speaking ill of others.
