I have not had the time to post this, but about a month ago I went to Van's to pick up my 3B QB wing. I could barely drive around back to the loading area. A Partain trailer was being meticulously loaded, several other trucks being packed, pallets everywhere outside the loading area, and bodies running all over the place busily packing up things. I squeezed my little trailer between the UPS truck (not a Van), and managed to get my wing loaded with the helpful assistance of the workers. Of course I drew the attention of my friends at Van's who where mostly too busy to do much but say "high and good to see you".
Van flew in with the 9 demo and was talking with 3 or 4 "suits", an unusal site at Van's, the suits that is, and no, he was dressed his usual casual self. Ken S was giving a demo ride in the 12, Joe B same in a 9, and Scott M was taking the 7 somewhere. Several people where on a tour and the shop looked full of gaukers.
I only stop by a few times a year, but I have never seen the place so busy and full of work. It is quite a contrast from my first visit to their humble beginning in North Plains.
It is nice to see a good company with a good product do so well. Three cheers for Van's.
