Was it you who showed up at their new house to unexpectedly find a Sprite in
the garage?  Maybe it was someone else, but those were hi jinx worthy of
only this List and the energies of Frank!

Hi List,

After hearing the terrible news about Frank C. I decided I need to be
back on this list.  For anyone who signed up in the past few years, I was
very active here for quite a while.

I am very priviledged to have known Frank.  He (and others) came to my house
and helped install my kitchen cabinets and rebuild some of my garage.
Sadly, I had to sell that house, just when it was getting good.  He also
brought ne a Gift Sprite as a housewarming gift.  Now I live in a condo and
a project car is out of the question.

I think we all agree that Frank Clarici made generous people seem like
Ebenezer Scrooge in comparison.  And his knowledge of LBCs and resto
technique was legendary.  He could rebuild a carb before you could get your
hands out of your pockets.

Yesterday I sent in a pic and a short obit to Classic
Motorsports<http://www.classicmotorsports.net/>magazine.  I recommend
that everyone write to David Wallens at
david at classicmotorsports.net and let him know that the LBC world has lost a
very important person.

I missed you guys!

Thanks,
