==================
Yes the group is based in the Seattle, WA area. Tony Standefer is a member
of the "Friends of Willy and Joe" (Tony has a jeep that he restored as a
USMC one). This message is copied to him as well.
There was at least one GP in Washington. A farmer in Lynden, WA called me to
go down and appraise his other WWII jeep and 1950s M100 tailer for him a
couple of years ago. A collector in Southern WA or OR bought the GP which
the farmer had told me was not for sale. (Grrr!!!! Not only that, I did the
trip from Canada all at MY own cost!) There are several re-enactor groups
in the WA & OR area including "3 Parachute Brigade" (British & Canadian
Airborne), and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada (in Oregon).
They have an umbrella group called the NWHA (North West Historical
Association).
