Any word on who and where these ended up? I spent a lot of time with Bruce and Cate under the hood and wouldn't mind seeing the buses again when and if they are ever fixed up. I have a lot of fond memories out on Zuck road with Cate swapping parts on the buses! Those were two people that could make things last some miles. They will be missed.

Hello, Ollie and i ended up getting Ol' Blue. Ollie almost has the motor done. Its taking us a lot longer than we expected to get her back on the road. He was just put on 6 days, 12 hour shifts so that's gonna make it worse. No money no play Right? Those two were amazing! Wish i would have got to have known them better. Your always welcome to come visit and swap stories. We'd love to hear them.
