Happy birthday to the list!  

I was a member of the big Healey list before this one was started and  was really tired of the put-downs from the big Healey snobs and the lack of Spridget stuff on that list.  So when Frank asked Mark to creat this list I was hopeful it would work out.  Joined this list  as soon as possible (October 1997) and couldn't have been happier with the results.  We've had years and years of great posts and threads (sorry Jay).

Activity has dropped considerably since Frank and Paul left us though.  Maybe we're all getting old.  I joined the Faceplant Spridget page a few months ago.  Not even close to what this list used to be, despite the antics of Tom Colby.   C'mon guys, send a message and let everybody know what you're up to.  What happened to the plans for another LOTO or Midget 50th type event?

Well, through the "other" list I spent the anniversary of Frank's passing ye=
sterday helping someone dial in a motor on the dyno. We needed a flywheel un=
expectedly and contacted another from that list and had it on the motor in 4=
5 minutes from the time the call was made. Spridget paying it forward is sti=
ll very much alive and well.=20

Happy birthday list!  And thank you for all your work Mark.

1991- jeez, I was a junior in high school then.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get all the messages to show up in my
inbox.  Some do, others go to a "promotions" folder or a spam folder (what
a dark, strange place that is!).  But I'm still here and reading the
messages I can find.

List,
We need to get more kids interested in our wonderful sport/hobby of
Spridget's and yes sad to say a bit slow since the passing of both Paul and
Frank but Ron you are also correct as the Pay it forward program continues.

Keep on motoring little Spridgets,
Linda
