  • Honoring Mike Franks

    I have commissioned windshield clings for our cars and stickers for our shirts honoring our friend Mike. These are the same as we did for Ray; the clings are designed for use and re-use inside a windshield or window, and the stickers are self-adhesive and stick very well to shirts. Each sticker will last several days with a little care.
    I offered a few designs to Donna and her family, and this is the one they chose. I think they are very nice. About 2" in diameter.



    There are enough to go around I think, and have already sent some to some folks who's addresses I had. I will have them with me on the Power Tour, but if you would like yours in advance, I need you to send me your name and address, how many days you will be on the Power Tour, and how many people will be in your car. As Mike suggested back then, "a SASE would work very well".

    For those of you who would like to help with the cost, as before I am not asking for help in that regard. Donna and I are asking that you make a donation to ALS. Most of you will recall that we created a ‘Bangshift.com family’ link as a memorial to Ray Brady through Team Lightning…………..in keeping with that endeavor, I have set up a ‘virtual walker’ on Team Lightning in Mike’s name. You may make contributions in Mike’s honor here:

    If you have problems, ideas, or suggestions to further honor Mike's memory, just let me know. Thanks, all.

    Steve, could you make this one 'sticky' too? Thanks.

                      I'll get a SASE to you if I find my list around this desk. Awesome looking decals and will proudly display it.
