Mike was my roommate at USM in my senior year of 1964. He was my best roommate ever and we shared the same sense of humor. He was a lot better student than I was. I remember he made almost straight A's and was an accounting major. MIke was from Highpoint, N.C. and I was from Savannah, Ga so I would give Mike a ride part of the way to his home in Highpoint along with his brother, Danny. We didn't stay in touch after graduation but I regret it now that I'll never see him again. I went to the 50th anniversary USM class reunion in 2014 and was hoping I might see Mike there but he did not attend.
To his brother, Danny: You may not remember me but I used to see a lot of you when you stopped into the dorm to visit with your brother. My condolences. I know Mike must have been a great big brother. If you read this I would love to hear from you on how Mike's life was in later years. I've lived in the SF Bay Area for the past 40 years and am just now getting around to retiring. My email address is [email protected]. Hope to hear from you. Art
