My son Evan Hodgdon was a student of Michael's at SRVTC. Mr. T was a genuinely nice man who cared about his students. My son and I are saddened by your loss. Evan is now a student at Eastern Me Community college in the diesel technology program. Evan was the first student to enter the competition for the vocational students as a diesel entry up in Bangor 3 years ago when Mr. T was there. May God bless your family as you remember Michael as a wonderful person, father, husband and teacher. Donna Hodgdon-Springvale, ME
