  Fix a free, orientation-preserving action of a finite group G on a
3-dimensional handlebody V. Whenever G acts freely preserving orientation on a
connected 3-manifold X, there is a G-equivariant imbedding of V into X. There
are choices of X closed and Seifert-fibered for which the image of V is a
handlebody of a Heegaard splitting of X. Provided that the genus of V is at
least 2, there are similar choices with X closed and hyperbolic.
