[Spridgets] Holy Sprite, where is it now?

[Ron Corry]

Hi Linda,

You are doing a great job in keeping the memory of Frank fresh in our minds.

Back in the era of the Holy Sprite, Frank was very kind in sending me one
of the T-shirts that I seem to recall his father made. Photo attached.

Sadly, it did not come through a machine wash so good, but I will always
treasure it.

Best wishes,
Ron... in Ireland
