Fond memories of Mike and Marjorie (not forgetting Hugo the dog) from the many Tuesday Nighter's meets, long ago where we would pair up for a climb. Much fun and banter was had and Mike always enthusiastic and entertaining . A very sad loss for the climbing world, Tuesday Nighter's and all those that knew him. Thoughts with Majorie and his family and friends. Jim Yearsley
