I feel that I'm one of a great group of people who lost a very good friend today. Mike was the best. I worked with him for a few years, and I'll always cherish our adventures. One minute we were in long, grueling meetings. The next we were running around downtown Atlanta with our cameras or visiting a downtown museum. I'll never eat at another Chinese buffet without thinking of Mike.
Rest in peace, my friend. Prayers for Paula and the whole family.
