Michael was one of the smartest people I ever Knew. He was self educated. When he was interested in a topic he researched it in depth. He was interested in art, history aeronautics... just about everything. I remember when Salvador Dali, the surrealistic painter, was being written up in Look and Life magazines, that Michael studied his work and all of its symbolism. He would go on and on about Dali. He was so passionate. Yesterday, I visited the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Pete, FL. And as I went through I could hear Michael talking about Dali and it was as though he was with me again. I was wishing that he had the chance to actually see the originals he studied in books. I will miss my big brother. Love. Laura
