Michael Piccone

I was friends with Mike in Denver in the mid fifties. We attended the Junior high school together (Kepner). We often hung around at the "ditch" as we called it, (Sanderson Gulch), one day we decided to dig out a little cave out of the bank of the ditch, i was below digging upward, when i had come to an area, that I couldn't dig because I was stuck, and couldn't back out, I asked Mike to come down and pull me out. What a relief, and Thank you, and wish I could have thanked you before the end....

Michael was a man among men, always putting forth his best ! He was respected by all and especially revered by my husband, Vern. They spent many hours together, both at work and in quite times.

Fond memories of Coach Mike at Santa Rita!
