We were in the same classes at Randolph School and at Boswell we were part of a "Stand By Me" type group of junior high guys. I remember the recreation room style basement of his house, where strings of matchbook covers were strung wall to wall on wire above the floor. Pretty cool place for weekend parties.
He lived on the same side of the block of Campbell as John Harmon, our erstwhile leader of the pack, and across the street from the homes of Ann Garlinghouse and Kathy Crouthers, frequent sites of slumber parties of the counterpart girl pack. Quite the block.
I remember Mike as part of our bored group one weekend when Harmon had the bright idea of riding our bikes through the storm sewers, hunched down over our handlebars, with our bike lights dimly lighting up the tunnel as our dogs raced ahead chasing the rats before us. Geez.....
