We met in first grade. We were both tall for our age so they put us in the back of the class.
We were in a group 125 or so first graders at St Elisabeth.
They separated us by Height, Age, Gender, IQ, and Alphabetically.
We always seemed to be in the same class and place in the class.
I was into sports and Mike was one of the other big guys in the class.
Whenever we chose teams Everybody would want Mike on there team because what he lacked in skill, he made up for in determination and Size.

After St Elisabeth, we parted friends and I went to ND and Mike went to VN. I had heard that he was in a club at VN and knew he was President.
We would see each other at Bobs Restaurant now and then but we kind of lost touch.

I had heard he went to Vietnam and knowing Mike, I knew he would straighten things out over there.

We were raised in a small neighborhood, went to a small school together and there was a bond.
We lived the perfect childhood and in my heart Mike was always a true friend and a credit to Saint Elisabeth
