<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

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.

Well Larry...lest I miss out on this thread, to wit, I should point out 
that there was Part II, "The Resurrection" (it being Easter and all).  
Attached is the assembled group still present at the "handing-over" to 
Fr. Jack.  Hopefully none of you are presently in Witness Protection and 
are doing tolerably well 15+ yrs. later.
Left to right:Larry Macy, Linda Grunthaner, Jim Johnson(now with Frank 
fixing whatever needs fixing above), David Booker, Kevin Valentine, Phil 
Nase, Ryan Kubanoff, Charley Braum, me, Fr. Jack(now looking after Frank 
and Jim), Frank Clarici IV, Frank Clarici III. Not pictured: Frankie V 
(in the house!) Greg Higgins (had to return to Canada, eh? j/k), and 
Michael Rowe (who had his back do a number on him), Ron Soave(looking 
for tickets to another Springsteen concert ;-)  ).
If there were others, let me know.  Mark Haynes were you at this 
session?   What a fabulous group of selfless people who descended on 
Diane's house.  Thanks, "Mom".

Nory, I never had the pleasure of meeting you but there were 
stories..... ;-)  Still have my shirt as well.

Usually I wait until April 11th for my tribute.  I will let the above 
stand in.  Thanks Frank and all of you!  Let us not forget Paul Asgeirsson!

Kindest regards and be well,

Dave W

    Well Larry...lest I miss out on this thread, to wit, I should point
    out that there was Part II, "The Resurrection" (it being Easter and
    all).  Attached is the assembled group still present at the
    "handing-over" to Fr. Jack.  Hopefully none of you are presently in
    Witness Protection and are doing tolerably well 15+ yrs. later.<br>
    Left to right:Larry Macy, Linda Grunthaner, Jim Johnson(now with
    Frank fixing whatever needs fixing above), David Booker, Kevin
    Valentine, Phil Nase, Ryan Kubanoff, Charley Braum, me, Fr. Jack(now
    looking after Frank and Jim), Frank Clarici IV, Frank Clarici III. 
    Not pictured: Frankie V (in the house!) Greg Higgins (had to return
    to Canada, eh? j/k), and Michael Rowe (who had his back do a number
    on him), Ron Soave(looking for tickets to another Springsteen
    concert ;-)  ).<br>
    If there were others, let me know.  Mark Haynes were you at this
    session?   What a fabulous group of selfless people who descended on
    Diane's house.  Thanks, "Mom".  <br>
    <br>
    Nory, I never had the pleasure of meeting you but there were
    stories..... ;-)  Still have my shirt as well.<br>
    <br>
    Usually I wait until April 11th for my tribute.  I will let the
    above stand in.  Thanks Frank and all of you!  Let us not forget
    Paul Asgeirsson!<br>
    <br>
    Kindest regards and be well,<br>

                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

                                make sense of what you see and about
                                what makes the universe exist. Be
                                curious. And however difficult life may
                                seem, there is always something you can
                                do, and succeed at. It matters that you

Wow beautiful photo, and bitter sweet.
It's always nice to see or hear of our dear OSHIT friends even if only
digital. I think had Paul Asgeirsson stayed with us I would have gotten a
Morris Minor Traveler as they are so utilitarian. So sad Jim Johnson had
passed I think last year. Did Jim ever get his Spridget finished? As I
recall he was never the same after his dear wife passed.

Yes David W, April 11th we should post as many photos and memories of our
dear OSHIT friends.
Safety Fast dear friends,
Linda
