I met Michelle briefly while at Whittier College. And I just received the copy of “The Rock”, the Whittier College Magazine for the Fall of 2011. I am sadden and surprised that Michelle Oei Matsumoto has passed away at such an early age. Michelle always had a smile on her face and was always pleasant to talk to. My condoledcences to her husband and family.
