He was honoured to see so many of his friends take the time to be with him for his birthday. Bruce, Pete and Lorian and I were here to share this time and his parents-in-law were here too. Over the weekend Mike and Moni have spent the time in an independent living unit attached to the Centre. It has given them real joy to have this time to themselves. This morning Mike has this joy in his eyes with the change in institutional living after more than nine weeks hospitalised. Hi to Mike’s readers from his Mum

Happy Birthday Michael. I caught up with Chambo after the Swanies game last night. Jane and I are travelling to Melbourne late October so hopefully we'll be able to catch up. Isabella is now 7 and doing well. I'm still umpiring and teaching. We hope you are getting better daily. Frank & Jane Hi Michael and Monica
