Hello all!
My name is Jim Bridges, I currently reside in Jacksonville, FL. Married
w/3 kids, 11/F, 9/F, 14 mos/M. Two vehicles, 96 Dodge Grand Caravan (a great
vehicle) and a 1971 Squareback (my pride and joy), totally stock, daily
driver, waiting to be restored. Currently looking for a job. My volkswagen
experience: have owned two, my first a 1973 superbeetle, which I turned into
my personal "road rocket" when I was 16. 1800cc, dual carbs, trick
everything, the works. Death by bad accident...I came out okay, my car did
not. My second, the current squareback. I've never responded to the group,
but have learned a lot over the past couple of months. When I feel I can make
a worthwhile contribution to questions, I will respond.

Subject: I was just wondering...
I had originally sent this e-mail to Greg Merritt as a way of seeing if
anyone would like to share a little personal information with each
other. I've been communicating on this list for a few months now, and
although I have read and replied to messages to alot of you, as well as
posting a few of my own, I feel like I don't really know much about any
of you. So, at the risk of being retentive, I would like to invite
anyone who would like to send up a few lines about themselves, stats,
and or interests. I understand that some folks would just as soon stay
anonymous, and I can respect that. I'll even throw mine in first, for
opening my big mouth.
My name is David Walters, I'm 37, and I live in Pembroke Pines, Florida,
USA and I have a '73 Notchback. I am married, my wife is named Lori, and
we have two kids, Zachary, who is 6, and Alyssa, who is 2. I have been a
firefighter/paramedic with the City of Miami, Florida for the past seven
years. I'm also a Rescue Specialist with the South Florida Urban Search
and Rescue Task Force II, part of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency. I've owned six VW's so far, including two '69 Beetles, two
Squarebacks, A '65 Notch, and the '73 Notch. I also have a '92 Harley
Davidson Sportster and a Ford Aerostar that belongs to my wife. My wife
doesn't care for the Notch, nor do I care for her Ford, although I've
replaced at least 90% of the Ford's parts at one time or another.
Hopefully, I'll get the "rust"-eration on the '73 done in the near
future, then post pics of it for all to see. Thanks for the vent space.
