I am not suprised that Michael has the talent he has as I knew his parents years ago when my husband worked with his father Mark selling cookware his mother Lela has been a close friend for years. They are both hard working & very talented people. Michael gets his love of people from his father Mark as Mark was always so kind & friendly to all he knew. When we moved to Mesa Ariz he would either phone or come by & visit whenever he was in town. I am thrilled with the talent that Michael has. i remember when he was born. His father Mark came to visit us in Mesa & was so thrilled that they had another boy. Lela told me once how kind & considerate Mark is to her. I think Michael is as kind & good as his parents & grandparents were. It thrills me to read of the many things he has done with his life.

Very nice article on an academic that has a bright future ahead. I hope Utah can keep him in the state for a while.
