I was one of those teachers that had the pleasure of working with Mic at Adams School. We also both loved to spend a bit of time at “the boats” and would swap stories of our times there. He always won much more than I did! 🙂 He was great with the kids at school and will be missed by all of us who knew him. My sympathy to the family. May you find comfort in all of your happy memories!
