I remember Mike with the tenderest of thoughts. I was new in the neighborhood when I got to Pacific High. I met him in the Quad, and he complemented my shoes. I was very shy and nervous and he made me laugh and feel welcome. He was always so relaxed and calm, and smiling. He took me to San Francisco to see Bill Cosby, and I laughed so hard, the belt on my dress came untied. He went back into the theater with me, and he found it on the floor under my seat. It was his idea for me to go the the Senior Ball with Bob Grove, his team mate on the football team, because he said Bob was too shy to ask me, so Mike laid the ground work. One of the most evolved and sweetest guys I have ever met on this earth, Mike's heart was as big as the blue sky over the quad on that sunny fall day where we first met...Marina Garcia Gelpe
