P' 4 .ilu emnrzam MIKE GUSTAFSON To those who knew him well, Mike Gustafson was a warm and generous friend. To his family he was an under- standing son, brother, and all around good companion. To his pastor he was a thoughtful, serious, young member of the Presbyterian Church. To his fellow students he was a shy, slim boy with a friendly smile. Mike had two favorite hobbies, traveling and building models of planes and ships that were involved in service during World War II and the Korean Conflict. He did research on these planes and boats, compiling their entire histories. He enjoyed traveling and had traveled in eighteen of our states and Canada. He especially loved the mountains, and would climb up into the rocky heights and take extensive hikes. He enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of nature. Whether we knew him well, or only slightly, we will miss this sixteen year-old boy and keep his memory warm, and be glad we knew him even for so short a time.
