Mike grew up in Pleasant Ridge, and was a fraternity brother. He turned 16 sooner than most of us our sophomore year, and used his Dad's '58 Chevy for our Friday Night Lights. He was encouraged by us to start every green light in low gear- eventually being called 'low gear Linder'. His Dad bought a '59 Impala convertible (smile)which was even more fun. Chev replaced low gear with 'grade retard' which didn't make the wheels chirp, but changed his nickname...
I contacted him in Indianapolis for our 20th reunion at the Marriott. He wasn't interested in attending. He finally told me that he was in treatment for cancer. I was able to convince him to attend. His parents wrote to me a year or to later to advise of his passing. They said he had a wonderful time at the reunion.
