Michael's Story

I am retired now, but active in my community. I am on the Board of Directors of the Orillia Pubic Library and chair the Library's Personnel Committee. I am also on the Board of the Elizabeth Overend Supportive Housing Project, which provides rent-geared-to-income housing for families, seniors and people with disabilities.

It was an exciting time, helping to develop a community service system for children and adults with developmental disabilities.

We have a vacation home in Lakeland, Florida, and hold season tickets for the Detroit Tigers spring training games. The weather is nice and my wife enjoys spending her winters there. I just come down for spring training.
