I knew Michael years ago, though I haven't talked to him for some time, now. We both lived in the No Seattle area, but i have moved furthrr south almost 20 yrs ago, so i don't see him much anymore. Incidentally, he was actually a commercial artist at one time. He's a really nice guy. I vaguely remember something about him surviving a health issue many years ago, perhaps he's had a reoccurrence.
