Michael briefly flirted with left wing politics on the national scene before buiiding a career in Nuclear research. Later came a troubled marriage to a wife with Huntingtons Chorea, a terrible disease that beleaguered his family. Then came work with children with special needs and young unemployed. This led to community service and the creation of a unique children’s hospice where he is still Life President. This story is alternatively heartrending and hilarious.
