From, a post of mine in 2017 (Turkey Day). Michael and I go all the way back to Frances Lacy together. Such a good guy and so smart and educated, His comments were spot on and thoughtful.
Hey, Danny! Just logged on and saw your ode to Turkey Day. That certainly brought back fond memories of my own Thanksgivings in Raleigh. As I've aged (matured?), moved, and had a family of my own, I realize more and more that our youth in Raleigh was fairly idyllic. To be sure, it wasn't perfect, but now, when I see the world through older eyes, I can really appreciate the benefits of growing up when we did. Yes, there was a war and immense social change going on in the world around us, but we didn't have invasive social media, we didn't have hundreds of cable channels narrow-casting disparate and divisive points of view 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we didn't have national leadership that seems more committed to advancing their own interests than they are to actually solving the problems that come naturally with a complex society.
Thanks for taking me back to what really were the halcyon days of our youth!

What a cool guy Michael was....

I last spoke to Mike about 5 months ago.On his birthday, I sent him a private Happy Birthday message as well as letting him know that I planned to make a Southern road trip and hoped to get togther with him.Also wanted to see if he were planning to go to the 50th UNC reunion.I didn't hear back from him , but chalked that up to him being a busy lawyer.It turns out that that was the day he suffered severe complications.Mike was one of the few people that I can't remember when I didnt know him or his parents and even his grandparents,from religious school, confirmation,Boy Scouts, and college.I just happened to look at the NBHS site and saw the death notice posted by Jerry Doliner.Initially I thought (hoped) it was a mistake but unforunately found it was true. I'll miss him quite personally because of all the shared experiences as well as the opportunies to reflect on so many stages of life.

Each and every Sunday morning, from nursery school through confirmation (age 15), I was at the synagogue with Michael Shor. Also, on Wednesday afternoons at Hebrew School for a few years. In those days, the girls behaved so beautifully. It was all the devilish little boys who drove the Rabbi crazy, Michael, Jerry Doliner and Jerry Weinstein included. Michael's family was known for their integrity. (His grandfather raised funds for Oxford Orphanage for years and years.) Love to all Broughton '68 students.

Damn. Tough to here about any classmate passing so young. But Michael was one of the close ones. Unlike Jerry and Debbie, I haven't know Michael all my life. Only since I was 11. So yes, Sunday school, Hebrew school, bar mitzva and confirmation classes too. And Boy Scouts. He was a good one - not the problem child that some of us boys were (yes, I'm guilty). Smart enough to make Dean's list at UNC. And to have made a good life for himself and his family. A good soul who will be missed.

My husband, Jamie Hamilton, and I were so shocked and saddened to hear of Michael's passing. Jamie was talking with him throughout this pandemic, and they had been making plans to meet in Charlotte when Covid is "over." Their friendship went back to junior high at Martin. We loved connecting with him at Broughton Reunion several years ago. Michael glowed with success and charm. We feel lucky to have been friends and able to get together through NBHS. Condolences to his family and colleagues. So much more we wanted to talk about....
