[T2] Oldvolkshome - Jim Thompson

[Al Brase]

I read countless postings from Jim on Type2.com and Vanagon.com. He was a
prince of a guy.
In 2005, I went to Jerome Jamboree.  Spent some time talking to Jim
Thompson. Also, Jerry Jess, Rob Laffoon from Omaha (Who also happened to be
my brother's mailman, if I remember correctly.)
and then, my all time favorite grumpy VW expert, Karl Von Salzen.
If there's a VW Bus heaven, these guys are in it!
