Mike lived on Normal St., about 2 blocks from my house on College Place. He would often stop by my place in the morning and we would walk on down to Ypsi High School. We were both members of the Jets Club, which built a float for the homecoming parade during our senior year - there is a picture of it in our 1963 yearbook. We finished building the float at my house, and it was steered, and propelled, in the parade by Mike Phillips and Bob Chubb. After high school Mike joined the Air Force and was stationed at Rapid City, SD, where he met and married his wife, Mary Ellen. I last saw them on a trip out west in the 1970s. Mike remained in that area for the rest of his life. I regret that I never made it up to Wyoming to see him near the end of his life. Bob Cornish
