<div dir="ltr">Ron,
<div>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.</div>

<div>Hi Linda,
<div><br></div>
<div>You are doing a great job in keeping the memory of
Frank fresh in our minds.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Sadly, it did not come through a machine wash so
good, but I will always treasure it.</div>

<div>As far as I recall, Mike
and the Holy Sprite are in Hawaii. Haven’t heard from Mike in a few
years, so that could have changed.

<div>I was just chatting with a fellow Spridgiteer Allen Fisher asI
had reposted a photo of the Holy Sprite group from 2011 on
Facebook, see attached. I wondered where it is now? More
importantly where is Michael Rowe who purchased it from Father
Jack after Frank Clarici passed away. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Anyone know the whereabouts of the Holy Sprite or Michael
Rowe? </div>
<div>Attached is the photo and the list of names on the photo.
I had just heard today that Jim Johnson passed away in February of
this year. Heaven sure has a lot of very handy Spridigiteers now.
