I remember Mike as a student in music therapy classes I taught at UMKC, as well as a fellow music therapist. He was always helpful and fun to know, as well as a good student.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing, announced this past weekend at our AMTA National Conference in Ohio. I interned with Mike in 1978-1979 in Milwaukee. 'Glad I got to speak with him several years ago. Ironically, I am now a professor of music therapy at UMKC, the very school where Mike got his BA degree with Wanda Lathom-Radocy. Mike was a wonderful person, and so very kind to the students at Manitoba Public School.

Maureen, So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Wish I could have been there. Prayers and thoughts to the whole family. Mike was a great mentor through-out my financial service days. And you both were there for me during personal highs and lows. My God give you peace and guidance during this time. Much love and hugs. Pat (Saber) and Mike Volgerson
