It's with sad news that I'll tell you I'll be losing a old friend tomorrow.

After 8 years of ownership, our 4104-4095 is being sold. Our singing group has had many of enjoyable miles riding up and down the roads here in the southeast.

The new owners live right down the road in Gainesville, GA. While I was talking to them about the purchase, I told them about you guys here on the board that would be willing to help them at any time.

So hopefully you'll see a new member pop in from the Gainesville, GA area real soon.

Ya know, I have the same feeling right now as I did when my son left home. Oh well, at least I've still got the MC-9 to help fill the void.

Glenn...at least we will still have you!

I see it says "Workin' til He comes" in your post.  I don't think it will be long buddy.

No matter why you let a bus go, it is still hard to say goodbye to an old friend.  We do hope the new owners will join us but also hope you will stay with us. 
Faith is not believing that God can, It's knowing that God will.

You never say goodbye because you have many memories to reflect on.

Great music, enjoyed listening to a few samples.

Hope the new owners will enjoy and take good care of her.

I delivered her to the new owners Thursday evening. They were just as excited as we were when we first got her. I took them on a 50 mile trip, and then let their driver under the wheel.  He's a truck driver, but he wasn't familiar with the Spicer transmission. I had him stop and start several times to make sure he had the shifting figured out. And he did a fine job after he figured out the "double clutching". :)

I feel they will do OK, and they have my phone number if they need me. I've still got to look around and make sure I didn't overlook any extra parts.

Workin' til He comes,

Glenn
