Hi Mark,

Well, you find a familiarity in the look/style of my Carrie
Stevens/Rangeley style streamers -- Mike is a friend (and mentor).
And you're right, in the world of streamers, he's 'The Man.'  He is
truly a major character,  and his first impression persona belies his
wealth of knowledge in many areas - WWI & II buff, rock &  blues
history, hockey, wine...  and the guy is a complete stitch in a social
setting (his analogies, stories and one liners are to die for).

As for his health, he's fine now and was at the Somerset show this
year.  (on a related note, Don Bastian is also recovering nicely)
