[Vwdiesel] A sad day

[pmdolan at sasktel.net]

I put VW diesels right up there with old airplanes, old motorcycles 
(the kind that raced, not the kind that "cruised") and a few other 
interests that pretty much guarantee interesting and intelligent 
company.  Hagar was one of those VERY interesting guys that make it 
(as in life) so much richer for those privileged to encounter him. 
 Wish I had the chance to meet him in person.
