[Spridgets] Grattan Follow-up - Correction: 7 Bugeyes

[Ron Soave]

I’ll have to check Blackhawk this year fir 947s. We had 27 Spridgets. I’m still trying to shake Stan into coming. That’s not going terribly well.

Because of Covid19 and other issues the awards were coming in later than anticipated and I was uncertain if we would have them for the end of season awards at Grattan.  Dave had them air shipped and I received them just prior to leaving Thursday Morning for Grattan.  Mark Maehling went out of his way to pick up other items from Dave prior to Grattan to make this a great Grattan.

We proved that all wrong when we had the largest gathering of 948s at any Vintage event that I am aware of, with a Grand Total of 6 of us.
