I do photos for Claremont and have worked with Michael many times. He was one of those people that the more you knew about him, the more you listened, the more you liked him. I sat in on some fellowship classes and loved how he would instruct while smiling and challenging the students.
One of a kind.
Claremont is a liberal hellhole. We looked into it for my oldest daughter. Fortunately, she elected to go to a slightly less left-wing indoc center: Santa Clara.
