[NoVa-Corvairs] Happy New Year!

Bryan:

Sorry to hear about your heater problem.  I assume that you were talking
about the heater distribution box with the flapper valves.  If so, are
Greenbrier heaters unique to Greenbriers or do other body style heaters
fit??


Too bad we can't better predict the weather for cold and rain.  That way
we could take a meeting date and do something along the social lines.  I
for one would like to see the new Air & Space Museum annex next to
Dulles. Also in Alexandra there is a Tucker auto museum, by appointment
only.  It also has a very large model railroad layout on the second
floor.
