i've read over and over, in several different sources, that Norm sold his stake in GSD in 1977 and when i bought my B200 conversion van from GSD in early '78 i asked to meet him, and i was told he wasn't there anymore, that he sold the business. i bought a stripped van from them in late '79 and customized it myself. i guess it's possible he bought the property back, i moved to Seattle area in the mid 80's so i wasn't around when GSD closed for good.
