While I have many fond memories of Mke around Lake Powell, water skiing, family meals and gatherings, my most treasured memories have been more recently. Seven years ago, I was finishing up my doctoral work and experiencing the requisite amount of madness associated with that. I've always respected Mike's intellect and we had a fun rapport, so I asked him if we could get together so I could pick his brain for some advice and survival skills. We met up and had a great time. Tons of laughs and his insight might well have saved my sanity for that period in my life. Afterwards, we would meet up from time to time to talk politics, argue policy and solve world problems. I'm lucky to have created such a great relationship with someone such as Mike. Some of Mike's knowledge and perspective still shape my thinking today. You will be sorely missed, Mike.
