Hi there!

I'm E. O. Gibson and Wx4 is definitive proof that even a komputer klutz can put up a Web site. It ain't pretty, but it's me. Below are a few FAQ's:

  • If Wx4 is a "dot org", what kind of organization is World Wide Willys Wagon?
    It's the kind of organization that pays Doteasy.com $25 per year for the rights to the domain name: pure fantasy, bub. I think that Doteasy deserves a plug here, because I'm happy with their sevice, even if their email interface is a bit klunky. Their basic hosting service is free (you pay for upgrades), and as you can see, bannerless.
  • Who in the heck are you?
    I'm an early 50's railroad locomotive engineer residing in California. Prior to the railroad, I spent 6 1/2 years in college (B.A.'s in history and social science, post-grad: secondary education) with no measurable effect. I have a wonderful wife, and two daughters and a son who are all about 50 IQ points beyond me. My goal in life is to retire asap. (note: Done! Living in Hawaii since 2009.) That's probably more than you care to know, eh?
  • Do you know anything about Willys Wagons or Jeeps?
    Probably less than you, although I have owned three CJ's (two of 'em Chevy 327-powered) in the past. El Rock Ape is my first foray into Wagondom. Much of the stuff here is info purloined from others (amongst my fellow historians, this is called "sound historical methodology").
  • What is your philosophy of life?
    Huh? Oh...I like Willys Wagons because they are fun.
