LiMBO Officers
Who: Bill Monk
My wife Amy and I both had VW rabbits as our first cars. We have been hooked on VW's since.. We have also owned a 84 Westy and a 78 Westy in the past 10 years. Our children Brian and Sarah share our vw and camping addiction. Be sure to look for us at most events in the New England area and a few down south this year.
Who:Stan Wohlfarth
I've been into Volkswagens since I was old enough to drive. I bought a '71
Westfalia and took that camper on some great trips, including Nova Scotia in
the early '90s. I replaced it with our current '81 camper in the mid-90's. I
have also owned an '87 Syncro Vanagon and am now enjoying a backyard
restoration of a '65 double-door walk-thru panel van.
My involvement with LiMBO started when I met the founder, Zach Woods,
promoting the club at a VW event in 1989. Since then I have served as
newsletter editor, membership coordinator, newsletter ad rep. and president. I
also am the promoter of the Transporterfest/VW Day event in Brookline, MA at
the end of September. After all these years I still really enjoy LiMBO and the
great people that come out for the camping, cruising, and various car shows. I
was even able to use my LiMBO newsletter and Volkswagen experience to turn a
hobby into a full time job. I am currently an editor of VW and Audi service
manuals for Bentley Publishers in Cambridge, MA. I do get out to a few big VW
shows every summer all over the country so be sure to say "Hi" if
you see me representing Bentley books at a show
Who: Jim Digennaro
Who: Nevin LescherThis is our 1987 Vanagon Westfalia, Wolfsburg Edition, acquired as second
owners in 1991. She is quite a distinctive bus because of the unique color
"Titian Red", used only on '87 and '88 models. She is not only a
dependable working camping vehicle but is also a show car having won numerous
awards over the last several years. As for myself, I am a retired Aerospace
Engineer and together with my wife Sue, share interests in our Westy. Our
other interests include family geneology research, railroads and trains of all
sizes and types and of course our 5 grandchildren.
Who: Philip DlugoleckiThis is my 1984 Westy. I had it for about 10 years now. I love it. I started going to the VW gatherings about 5 years ago and had a ball. My Westy is the best escape mechanism for a single guy. I keep it packed and ready to go in the camping seasons. Weekend comes and if I feel like it. I'm gone! My daughter (a college kid) loves to come along when she can.
Who: Linda Manion and Tom

Who: Mike GuilfoilI have been a member of LiMBO since it's earliest days - I think even before I had a bus. I have loved Volkswagen Beetles and Buses since I was a kid, and around 1989-1990 I decided to finally look into trying to buy a Bus. I found NEATO, started going to events, and joined NEATO with the purpose of finding a split windshield bus. I met Zach Woods (LiMBO founder) at some event where he was handing out flyers trying to get LiMBO going and decided to join. I bought my first bus in 1991 - a 1975 Yosemite Yellow Westfalia Deluxe with a near virgin interior and a body that had just been redone with lots of Bondo. I had that bus until 1999 when it finally lost the battle to rust. In 1997 I purchased a 1987 passenger van (daily driver), and in 1998 I bought a very nice 1987 Westfalia. The '87 passenger van was sadly parted with in 2005 when the head gasket went for the second time (caused by overheating due to a faulty temperature sensor). When Zach was trying to establish an organizational structure at the early meetings I volunteered to be the Clerk, and since then nothing has changed - I'm "Still the Clerk". In 1993 I completed the task of filing for Incorporation, establishing LiMBO as a non-profit organization. My duties as Clerk include writing the minutes of the Annual Meetings and filing the required Annual Report with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as being an all around “Good Guy”, beloved by all.
Who: Dale WardLike several others on this page, I've been associated with LiMBO since
meeting Zach Woods in the late eighties. I still have the window sticker from
the first ever "Official" LiMBO event, Buses in the Wild, September
9-10, 1989, Rutland, Massachusetts.
I've served the Club in several capacities over the years, including Area
Representative Coordinator, and President. My duties now include sending out
the New Member Packets, and maintaining my home here at 9 Golden Hill as the
"LiMBO Club House", always available for newsletter production,
strategy planning sessions, the annual meeting, and a rest stop for wayward
bus owners.
In real life, I'm a line haul truck driver. Out all night Monday-Friday, but
always home during the day. You can get me on my cell phone anytime between
7:00 PM and 5:00 AM. 774-275-0218.
I'm happily divorced with two terrific kids, Barry and Vanessa and a great
ex-wife Holly. In fact I have to credit Holly for encouraging me to buy my
pride and joy 1990 Westfalia Camper way back when.
The rest of my fleet is made up of lesser VW's, almost too numerous to
remember, but include a '76 Westfalia, '72 Super Beetle, '90 daily driver
Vanagon, my daughter's '90 Jetta, my '96 Golf "winter car", most of
them run, but some don't. You get the idea.
I try to make it to most of the Southern New England Volkswagen Events. If you
see me, stop and say "Hello".
Dale Ward, LiMBO Club House Keeper
Who: John Netsel
Upon much searching I found a 1983 one owner Vanagon Westfalia in 1998 which
wasn't for sale but after much talking the owner agreed to sell her to me
knowing that she would be cared for. At this time she sits in a heated garage
driving her tops of 3500 miles a year. The view out of a Vanagon windshield is
like having the whole world in front of you.
Who: Kevin Kruger
I have been a LiMBO member since 1997. I presently own 2 Volkswagen Vanagons.
The first is a 1980 Assuan Brown Westfalia with 77,000 original miles. Her
name is Ebony. She has won many awards at VW shows in the northeast. And also
my pride and joy. The second Vanagon is a Vesuve Blue 1987 Wolfsburg 7
passenger GL. I am the second owner of Emma. I am proud to be a member
of LiMBO. When I'm not doing VW related things I also like to travel around
the Northeast doing day rides and taking pictures. Also enjoy camping and
going to LiMBO campouts.
