I sent this to the MG list that MJB also hosts on team.net. Thought I would
share. Hope the part about the shed is accurate.

But I think it is important to notify the members of the MG list that a huge
supporter of Little British Cars has passed away. I do not know how many of
you knew Frank, but he was huge in the Spridget world. He always had a helping
hand and together with me and a few other Spridgeteers created the OSHIT
group. OSHIT which stands for Organization of Spridget Handymen In Transit, is
a great example of Franks ability to inspire though his love of LBCs. We would
hear about someone that needed some help on their car and we would travel
around the NE US one weekends on our own dime to help that person get their
car running. All we asked was food, beer and a place to throw a sleeping bag
if we went overnight, and we often did. Frank headed up this merry band of
trouble shooters and was always ready with a part or some advice on how to get
our Spridgets running. He usually asked nothing in return, or sometimes asked
that his favor be passed forward.

Schwinn.q he haas amassed about 6 he had in his garage. Being a carpenter (and
