What's New

MIchael was most certainly in my homerooms throughout  Thomas w. Pyle junior high.  His father Harold was an anthropologist known for ROOTS.  WE met up later in life on Facebook sharing dogs and pets, offspring etc. My husband from the class of 1968 lived in the Radnor neighborhood as well. In the fifties and sixties of Bethesda.  

I am saddened to hear of Mike's passing.  He was always very kind to me during my time at Walt Whitman.  He was a sweet, sensitive soul.  I'm sorry he has left so soon though impressed by the path his life took.

I was saddened to hear that Mike passed away. My condolences go out to his family and loved ones. When I first moved to Bethesda from Washington DC and transferred to Pyle in 9th grade Mike was the first one to reach out and befriend me. I related to his love of stray dogs, as I would consider myself a stray those first weeks/months with new kids. At the time we shared a common interest in coin collecting and I remember Mike as being an astute trader! All in all, I remember him for his kindness and thank him for his warmth in that difficult period of my life.

Happy birthday, Clinton.
I walked around Woodacres last week.

Happy B'Day Smiler ! Who's counting ?
