    Peter -

    Regarding the guy in Gig Harbor...Rob Phillips is his name. He has a
    freshly restored IIa 109 SW that is tan-"ish" in color and recently shared
    his website with the list - then a string followed regarding the stickers
    and decals people put on their vehicles - I have never met Rob but have seen
    "Gig Harbor" in his emails and have seen his 109 up at G&S Services (very
    nice job on the resto btw). His email address is RoverPilot@aol.com
