Geez, this is horrible! I'm *so* sorry to hear. All my condolances to the family, and to us here on RSAM. He will be so very missed. Words would fail to convey the respect I held for Mike. This sucks. Bob |

I posted a message yesterday, but it hasn't made it through the moderation process. In the fullest respect for a man I never met, I hiked to the top of the basin. I thought of him for most of my hike to the top. I was lucky enough to have talked to him on the phone about 7 some odd months ago. I plan on posting the pictures of my summer A-Basin hike, as I feel this is the very minimum of respect I could display for Mike. I will also be posting this seperately to the sci.space.* news groups that led me to the rec.skiing.* groups that he help me find. The sci.space.* newsgroups should know. BW, thanks for letting us know. I had not seen any posts from Mike in a few weeks. This explains a great deal. Sam "I will forever miss Mikes posts in sci.space.* & rec.skiing.*" Seiber |

About 11 weeks from now, at Loveland. I will log a lap for him then. http://homepage.mac.com/saemisch/A-B...kesLastRun.jpg See you on the next lap, Mike. Sadly I never met the man. That would explain why I havn't seen any posts from him in the ski & space science news groups in a while. I am adding two space newsgroups that he posted to, as they would probably like to know. It was through his posting in the space newsgroups I found the skiing newsgroups. I really don't know what else to say right now. Sam |

Speegle had another engagment on the 17 of May for the Tan-O-Rama A-Basin RSA invasion, and so was unable to make it. Shame that we did not have a chance to cross paths in person. Rest in peace fellow RSA poster, and may a pair of freshly waxed straight skis line your side forever as a reminder of all the great and worthwhile moments of your life - on and off the slopes. Your posts will be missed. nate |

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. |
