Hey everybody,
Ken & Patti Marsh here. Weâve been âwannabesâ for several years and are now
finally able to announce that we have joined the ranks of proud bird owners.
Our 3 year odyssey towards the goal of full-timing after retirement in March of
â07 just took a GIANT leap forward. The house is sold and the bird is bought.
:o)
Here is the link to the bird we just purchased from Mr. Olivers:

We especially want to thank Ralph Fullenwider for hot-footing it down to Mr.
Olivers the very next morning after we called him about doing the pre-purchase
inspection for us. He gave her his usual thorough going over (including
sleeping in her overnight and using her wonderful garden-tub shower) and called
us with his verbal report. âThis coach has really been taken care of and she is
one of the sweetest â89 wide bodies Iâve seen.â
Ralphâs quick response and thorough inspection enabled us to move quickly and
close the deal before someone else beat us to her. Thanks Ralph, you dah man!
Her name is ToWanda (any of you who have seen âFried Green Tomatoesâ will
recognize it) and she will be spending this winter @ Ralph & Charlotteâs. This
is so that Ralph and Ernie can do some upgrades and modifications for us over
the course of the winter.
We will be going down to Ralphâs toward the end of October, after Patti has
recovered from knee surgery enough to be able to drive. We will be visiting
with both Ralph and Ernie about our âwe wantâ list for ToWanda. Who knows?
Maybe weâll get the opportunity to meet a few of the Texas Birds during the week
we will be down there.
In the meantime, we are
Ken & Patti Marsh
