Gale's brother, Don, thanks everyone who sent email concerning his
death.

Now, for those who may be interested, Don Barrows has allowed me to
list some of Gale's MVs for sale. Actually, he is taking offers.
Gale's personnel property is going to be sold at auction but, Don would
like to see all of the MVs go to collectors. Anything not sold prior to
the auction will be placed in the auction.

I was up at Gale's earlier today to help with cleanup of his property
and didn't get a chance to closely look at the MVs and equipment. I'll
be returning later in the week and hopefully I will be able to. Here is
the list so far.

2 Mules-- one is not running and is in rough condition, the other is
running and was being used in the cleanup when I arrived. 4 extra tires
avail. Both can be bought as one unit, I belive.

M151-- Was running the last time I talked to Gale. Body fair. Has hard
top.

1 Field kitchen-- I forget the "M" number. Everything looks there but,
will need some work.

1 Field shower trailer unit?-- Looks to be in good condition. Don't
know if is working. The kitchen and shower unit would be great for any
MV club that takes frequent club outings.

1/14 ton generator trailer?-- Fair condition. Has top bows but didn't
see a canvas.

M43 and M37-- Both in good condition with original paint. M37 has
snowplow. These two may have some local MV collector buyers but, make
an offer. You never know.

Some 5t cargo truckbeds and various other trucks (dump, fuel, and cargo)
both in running and wrecked condition. I'll find out more on those
later this week.

Gale was also a gunsmith and had a nice collection of M1 Garands. They
were given to a dealer for safe keeping but, I could get a list if
anyone is interested.

Buyer responsible for removal.

Thanks for looking
Mark
