happy birthday next week. will you be at the 70th birthday celebration in September? look forward to seeing you.
In 1970 (?) Sam Luel ('65) and I took Mike into our aprtment in walnut hills. It was obvious he was not the same Mike we all knew and adored in high school. He bathed, ate, ranted, and slept. There were quite a few stories going around as to why Mike was lost. It was said he got stuck in a LSD trip, he was schizophrenic or just crazy. He was suffering. Living in a one room apt was difficult and one day Mike put water in a medicine bottle where I kept LSD. I went balistic and told him he had to go.
A couple years later I saw Mike at Hyde Park square. He didn't speak. I don't know if he recognized me or not. My daughter fell in the fountain and Mike ran and rescued her. He was killed shortly after that incident.
I am not sure why, but I think of him often. He is not suffering anymore
