Our 1st GMC, a 1975 Palm Beach, was named Gypsy during our one-year
sojourn around the USA in '77. Covered 30k miles with two pre teens on
board.

David,

As you may or may not know, Toward the end of a coach project JimB says that sometimes the GMCs start to talk to him revealing their names. Towards the end of our project he said that she informed him that her name was 'Lil Orphan Annie because a number of owners had tried to keep her on the road but had run out of money or interest. We accepted that name but informed him that I wasn't Daddy Warbucks.
