Mike was the Registrar at Narbonne HS in 1956 when I worked for him in the attendance office in mu first year as a teacher. As a just returned from active duty Marine lieut. I was immediately impressed with this unforgettable Marine hero. Mike and I along with a number of other young teachers would repair on Fridys afternoons to Allen Center (US Navy base officer's club) for an hour or so of great commraderie. Being nre to Socal I had no friends or amily and when the time came to vuy my first house Mike was so very generoius and cosignerd a note for the down payment. It wasn't until a Narbonne reunion in the 80s that I met him again and was privileged to spend the evening at his table. May his ravaged body and soul rest in peace. Bill Farris

Mike was an LA High School friend of my brother Howard, and that is how I got to know him. He was a role model to other students and continued to be all his life. I put his biography on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Marienthal Please visit the website and if you can add any items to his biography, please do so.

1954 – Mike was my teacher in a summer school class at UniHi. It was hard work for him, as he was working many nights filming East of Eden. Great stories, great teacher, great guy

I respected Mike before I ever met him. Growing up during WWII I absorbed the character traits that made the "greatest generation" great! Mike's dedication to his country, family, profession, and UCLA, was lifelong. He made me want to be A Marine! He never let his physical injuries stop him from an active career of service. I even awarded him the greatest accolade I can bestow--I forgave him for being a Repuiblican! This, folks, was a MAN. SEMPER FI, MIKE! Bill Hines (Sgt, USMC,Ret.)
