Thank you Stan for the update.

To Don and the rest:  Terri and I are very saddened by the news of one 
of the "good ones" crossing to the other side.  May Jeff find a special 
Spridget garage there.  We first met Jeff and Mary at Lake of the Ozarks 
for the 50th.  Terri has fond memories of Mary befriending her while 
most of us were playing with cars (Thank you Mary!).  We could not 
believe the distance they had driven to get there with that red Bugeye 
with the Bimini top (I still want one!). Jeff always had time for pests 
like me wanting to learn more and talk Sprites and I shall miss that; 
especially getting together at the DuPage County swap meet.  While I 
don't race and can't get to a lot of the events, I follow you all 
closely.  Jeff is(not was) an example of the Spirit that flows through 
us all as we endeavor to keep our little cars on the road & track.  Rest 
in Peace my friend; you've earned it.
With condolences,
Dave and Terri Woerpel
