So sorry and suprised to hear of Mike's passing. I'll always remember the good times we had in high school and what a good friend he was....though I do regret that we drifted apart after school, I will always be indebted to him for introducing me to my wife of 55 years. Happy trails you old stick-in-the-mud. Allan M
