I am posting this because many of us have known Michael for a very long time. He has been very important in the hiking and conservation communities here in El Paso. The Celebration of Our Mountains website was designed by him and, except for some cosmetic changes, addition of pages and updating, it remains his design.

I've known for a long time that Michael has a calling to the priesthood. I know that he struggled with that for a few years. God just wouldn't let him get away.

I know that many of you will want to attend this very special event in his life.
