Family of Mike ~~ I can't believe he's gone 10 years. We were planning our 40th Class Reunion for BeCaHi Class 1973. But we didn't know his email. Now we're planning 50th Reunion at Musikfest weekend if wife wants to attend. God Bless.

Hello Nancy, I don't know if you will remember me...I am the one extern that Erik brought along, to observe care of Michael. (The one who is training for infectious disease research.) I recently learned about Michael's passing. I am soooo sorry for your loss and I greatly enjoyed the time that I got to spend with you both. I hope you are okay and you can feel free to contact me.
