<div dir=3D"ltr">List,
<div>I was just chatting with a fellow Spridgiteer Allen Fisher asI
had reposted a photo of the Holy&nbsp;Sprite group from 2011 on
Facebook, see attached. I wondered where it is now? More
importantly&nbsp;where is Michael Rowe who purchased it from Father
Jack after Frank Clarici passed away.&nbsp;</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Anyone know the whereabouts of the Holy Sprite&nbsp;or Michael
Rowe?&nbsp;</div>
<div>Attached&nbsp;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.
