Sold our coach (split from Re: FOR SALE, 1996 FORETRAVEL U280 & 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4X4)

As of this morning, Midge & I are Coachless.  Our coach is on its way to Douglas City, Ca.
which is only 80 miles from where we purchased it 6 year ago.  The new owners flew out
yesterday to pick it up and drive back home on a 2 week vacation.  They have own a 1990
Grandvilla for 12 years.  Here's wishing them a great trip home and many happy miles in a
great coach.  We sure hated to see it go down the drive way.  Attached photo of the new owners

Jimmy and Midge, Glad that you got it sold, If you are like me I hated to see mine setting in the drive knowing that I would never use it again.  Relax now and look forward to whatever life brings you next.  AND.... If you have any reason to be in Atlanta I EXPECT you to call and come visit, we have extra bedrooms and would be glad to have you anytime.

Ahh, look at the smiles on those new owners' faces.  I remember that feeling very well.  Jimmy, just think how happy you've made these folks.

Jimmy,

You were the first forum member I ever talked to when I first started looking. I hope that your years of experience and knowledge will continue guiding us younger ones, just like the infamous Gary Bouland. Sorry I have never made it down to Ardmore to stop by. Glad you sold the coach knowing it will continue the adventures. We may still make it down that way in the future. Will call if we can swing by.

Looks like I will have to change my name if I have become INFAMOUS. Didn't know that anyone noticed. Now if I could just remember the correct spelling of importent.

     I am so glad for you and Midge, Jimmy. Am so sad it was not me but as we know, the stars were not in perfect alignment at this time.
  For the couple that we all have had the pleasure of meeting now on this post...Congratulations to you both. You have met 2 wonderful people (even though I did not have the pleasure of meeting Midge) on my visit to Ardmore, I am sure of it!
  Please keep in touch with us all & let us know how you are using and enjoying that great coach...
  In my humble yet somewhat experienced opinion, I do sincerely know that their coach is one of the finest ones in the fleet.
I looked at over a dozen coaches over 2 years and this one you have now, was the most well kept and particularly maintained that I had found.    Not many units show in person, better than the pictures offered...this one did, I am sure you agree.
  If I am meant to be a part of this wonderful Foretravel Family in the future, it will be hard to match this unit as I resume my hunt.
              I hope to meet you all out on the roads in a Foretravel one day! Truly, John
