Here is a photo of Mike as a child, playin' in the rain...waaaaaaay back in the early 60's.
Mike has created a windfall of beautiful flying models over the years...and is a gifted teacher with with many many talents.
Most of all...I treasure both Mike and Bruce Malm as life long friends. Mike and Bruce both started building and flying models when they were buddies that lived near each other in Lakewood near Tacoma and used to walk together to a park almost every day to try out some new control line model.
Another blessing for all of us in those days...that we helped and guided by GEORGE LIEB who is one of the most gifted model builders that we have ever known...and how fortunate that he was availabe and on call to help us and teach modeling skills that has lasted almost a lifetime.
Thanks George, Bruce, and Mike....for always being there for me and others that shared that ol' park that we turned into our local flying field...which is has now morfed into a skate park.
