About This Item

The Story Behind "Billy's Buggy" The Beginning: Bandaid falls in Love with a Girl Scout Program callled Zink the Zebra. Please check her out...It's an inspiring story. Visit Zink the Zebra. Bandaids "Partner in Crime" Dragon Lady regularly suprises her with "Zebra Paraphenalia." I have a great collection!! Enter Billy: Dragons Dad Billy was a "True Cracker" from Sarasota, FL. Bandaid is also a "Cracker" from Ft. Myers. For a long time Dragon and Bandaid kept saying we were going to get together with our families and never did. We put it off and put it off thinking that there would always be another day. Bandaid never did get to meet Billy but her daughter "Wormie" did. They were 2 peas in a pod and kindred spirits. Sadly, in July of 2008, we lost Billy to the cancer he had fought for 11 years. Billy's passion was VW's and somewhere along the way Dragon bought me this VW that is covered in my passion...Zink. I'm turning it into a travel bug to remind us of misssed oppportunities and for Shy, friends well remembered. On March 14, 2009 Billy's Buggy will be released at an event that is being held for Girl Scouts, where Bandaid and Dragon met. Wormie chooses to wear the "copy" tag around her neck to remember her friend. On April 23, 2006 The Zink the Zebra travel bug was released. Visit the Zink The Zebra Travel Bug. Sadly this bug is now missing in action. I would love for these 2 bugs to meet somewhere along the road and know that they share a story. Disclaimer: Bandaid, Dragon Lady and Wormie are GS camp names. No Dragons or Worms were harmed in the releasing of this bug.

Billy's buggy has two front flat tires but still raring to go.
Hope to drop off in Niagra Falls next week. Who knows maybe an over seas visitor can retrieve next
