[Christopher Sousa]

Fritz,

If Don doesn't have any left, Metal Mast in Putnam, CT will be able to fabricate
a set from the bases and a sample wooden spreader. I personally do not mind
having wooden spreaders, during the restoration of Carina Vela I fabricated a
new set from white oak which were covered with West Systems epoxy and painted
white.
