This is just a sad day in the SE VW World.
I just found out that Perry Mull suffered a Massive Heart Attack this morning and is in intensive care at South Ga Medical Center in Valdosta.
Please put his family in your prayers this Thanksgiving week!

If you don't know who he is, Perry was one of the main VW folks down here in South Ga. He had acres full of VWs and had Mull's VW Farm.

He was a good feller.

Dave and I and a few other VW folks went to the services yesterday.
The pastor had Dave and me park right in front of the church with the buses and said that is what he would have wanted.
It was a good service and he had a Air Force salute outside in the Cemetary with TAPS as well.
