[Michlib-l] Sad News

[ConnieJo Ozinga]

I first met Mike when he and I were elected to whatever public library
division MLA had in those days. He and the late Don Best (then director in
Cadillac) set great examples to this then newbie librarian. (MLA was at
Sugar Loaf Mountain that year btw.) We stayed in touch after I left
Michigan and when I became a Carnegie Library Director he made sure I got a
tour of the old TC library.  Which I classed in the very common category of
Carnegie with a shoebox stuck to it.  So he may be gone, but he will always
be one of my very positive memories.
