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=
