Re: [T3] The Great Squareback Road Trip

["Tom Cloud" <computerspace@hotmail.com>]

Hi Toby,
   I've been lurking on the maillist list for a few weeks now as I
just got my (excuse me, my wife and I's) '69 Fastback. If you're so
inclined, I'm in Redding CA, right off the I-5 corridor and you're
free to visit and stay if you need on your way back from L.A. Just
give me an idea of when you'd be arriving when you've determined
it.

Regards,
Tom Cloud
