Everyone-
I have just been informed that we lost Michael this morning. I just visited with Terry Buffum and he had the same information as I. I am literally struck by this news. Michael called me last week after returning from consultation with his Physician and did not receive good news. He was courageous in the face of it and I am shaking at the news. He was a friend and I can pay him no higher compliment. He was a giant in our chosen field of study and interest and without equal. I will miss him greatly. I would request that we give his family privacy. I will update with any news.
