Added Arania's link to the main news. Look for my double post comments on the site - ah the wonders of autofilters.
I've met Mike several times and it was always a blast. He was always funny, light-hearted and ready for practical jokes. He signed nearly all and everything he got his hands onto - with the exception of that one book we could save from him at the convention. He was not only a great actor but a great friend - he will be dearly missed. :(
Those of you who have pics of Michael with or without themselves, it would be cool if you could send me a copy. If Jac won't mind, we could add him as VIP to our memorial page. I'd put a site together.
Take care, Admiral.
May he rest in peace.
