Mike was one of the people that hired me. I worked 34 years with the Science department. He became a great friend. So many long talks. Field trips with his classes. Hikes with the Arts and Science faculty and our families. Picnics and Science Club gatherings. Laughing at the times we fell into the mud, bogs and creeks or watching students surprise snakes, or holding toads. Yes, good memories.
He and Val were great people and I was lucky to know them. Our family will miss them.
