Mike and Dianne are legendary. They are also people you'd invite to your back yard cook out or pool party, or just over for a fireside chat, because they are , to the core, some of the nicest folk you'd ever be privileged to know.
If you were in trouble in the Northern Presis, they were also the 2 people you would be most grateful to see no matter what your medical situation.
Mike has left behind a team of folks that are ALL highly trained, highly motivated and most of them are above basic EMT status, as well as back-country veterans. It is a place where McGuyver skills and thinking on the fly is just as important as book knowledge .
I so wish Mike ( and Dianne) a joyful and fulfilling retirement. I'll get to see them a bit more often now.
Congrats Mike.
