Suter's Sale(s) -- was Re: 30 AMP OPS

[mbulriss]

John,

Congrats on selling everything so quickly (even if you weren't really
ready for them to go so quickly). Quality sells quickly.

That was the longest 'for sale' ad I have ever seen in the FMCA
magazine listings, but it did allow the reader to visualize the coach
as they 'walked thru' it in the ad. Did that count as your free
member ad?

Congratulations John on selling the house and the coach.
Wow, these are big changes indeed. What's next? Will
you be looking for another Blue Bird?
