The moderator team wishes to announce the passing of Mike Speegle,
skier and RSAM moderator, on Thursday the 24th of July. Mike was a
very personable fellow and a friend and skiing buddy who will be
missed. He is now skiing in light. Memorial donations in his name may
be made to The Shaka Franklin Foundation for Youth, 8101 East
Dartmouth Ave., #11, Denver, CO 80231, www.shaka.org, and all are
encouraged to ski a run in his honor at the earliest opportunity.

See you on the next lap, Mike.


Geez, you come back after a few days away to something like this! My
condolences to the family and friends. I will miss his posts too. Anyone
know what happened. I never got the impression that Mike was all that
old. Just goes to show you that we all must be ready to go at any time.
I'll ski a run here in PA in December when the slopes open in his honor.
We'll miss you Mike.
