I thank Michael for all he did to encourage my love for movies and trivia. He opened my thoughts to a level of entertainment I never realized existed. At such a young age he was able to share so much information on so many subjects. His amazing gift for convesation was shared with my students when I was teaching and directing. He never realized how much I absorbed as he influenced my knowledge for theater and music. I will always remember him watching an operetta my sister was singing in... always remember him showing up to represent the Flores Family when you least expected. I'll miss you very much but you'll never be forgotten. With love & admiration, Terese
