Jack,

I don’t think anyone who has owned an MK2 is a young`in,  so we’re all up there 
in age.  I think it will actually be one of the challenges with ‘nostalgia’ 
cars like MK2s - how to get a younger generation interested and active to keep 
things alive.   Aircooled VW and Porsche people seem to have done a good job of 
that with clubs and such – Watercooled VW not so much.   But we’re helping a 
little here.  All of our messages are being preserved as a legacy for future 
generations of enthusiasts of these cars.   Maybe they’ll learn a thing or two 
from us long after we are long gone..

In the meantime,  we’ll keep enjoying our VWs..

Actually I bought my first VW at a dealership in Wexford, PA, about 30 miles 
from where I lived in Swissvale.  The manager of the dealership was a very good 
friend of my Dad's and we got a decent price - brand new 62 VW Beetle for $1543 
on my 19th birthday - and didn't have to wait for it.  Yeah, I'm an Olde Farte 
(73 on 9/16/15)!!  Still have a VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI these days.

Braddock was probably where you saw your first VW – there we go – it has all 
gone full circle.  :)
