05 Apr 2006 I did not know Mike, but he was killed along with my cousin CPT Larry P. Stotler, Evansville, IN, and MSG Evans S. Walker, Blacksburg, SC. There is a wonderful page about Mike that was written by his classmates on the Arlington Cemetery site. From what I have read, I am sure he was a wonderful soldier and friend to Larry, and I know he is missed. Lynn Gage Cunningham dcunningham11@tampabay.rr.com
