[Spridgets] Paul's Passing

[Lester]

But the other side of the coin is the Crissman trophy, I remember  
because I was around when it happened, but most don't.  Two kids who  
were SAAB folk killed when they ran into someone.  Tragic and there is  
a trophy established for them but that was several years ago and now  
it's just a lost cause..
