Michael Raymond "Mike" Karl

I lived on the same street as 'Big Mike' as everyone called him. This was when we were kids living on Lakeshore Dr. in Metairie. We all played together everyone on the street, went to each others houses, birthday parties, rode bicycles together, baseball, etc. He always said 'lota-this' instead of 'look at this'. His parents always decorated the outside of their house for Christmas as did we. There was a Christmas House decorating contest a couple of years for the neighborhood and one year his house came in 2nd place and my Mom 3rd place. Then one day he said his family was moving but he didn't know where, then we didn't have Mike anymore, us kids were sad he left. I think we have a picture, but will have to look for it
