Here's a short video of Michael reading the poem he wrote for the 2020 Penn State Poetry from Life project.  In partnership with Juniper Place, a local senior living center, local poets are matched 
with residents who have led interesting or noteworthy lives.  After 
meeting the residents and learning about their lives, the poets are tasked with writing a portrait in verse.  Michael's subject was Fred Thompson, 92, a noted local engineer and entrepreneur.

Because of the current health crisis the reading event had to be cancelled.  Each poet was asked to do a video and they will be uploaded to a web site at a future date.
