[Spridgets] Holy Sprite, where is it now?

Sun Mar 24 08:18:03 MDT 2024

Ron,
That's beautiful. I'm so grateful to have been a part of just a few days of
the project as I was so busy with other things at the time. I have yet to
meet a more generous, uplifting person than Frank Clarici. For me at the
time I felt beat and badgered from the passing of loved ones to the point
where I lost all confidence I once had in the tool/machine world. Frank was
able to bring us all together and promote confidence, skill and the faith
to believe in ourselves. I think "we" even as "electronic friends" can
agree with that.
Safety Fast,
Linda
62 California Sprite "Pinky"
