I bought my first VW in the spring of 64. It was a 62 bug.

I fell in love with type 3s when I first sat in one in about '66. I believe it 
was a 66. I bought my first type 3, a 68 MT Squareback on March 2, 1968.

I've had one or more squarebacks ever since then. I've managed to keep at least 
one daily driveable at all times up to the present.

In one form or another I've owned 9 squarebacks. 

Five of them have been daily drivers that I've gotten many miles and many years 
out of: 68, 71, 71, 72, 73.

One, now owned by John Jaranson, was bought as a possible project car but never 
got around to: 66.

One parts car given to me: 73.

Two bought to fix up: 69, 73, one of which made it quite nicely to Parma and 
back last summer: 69.
