Mike Collier

While in Tupelo I spoke with Bobby Collier. As many of you know, Mike Collier has been receiving treatments for cancer since February. After one of those treatments a couple of weeks ago, Mike suffered a serious heart attack. He is recovering nicely from his attack and hopes to resume his treatments soon.

This year has been a tough one for Mike and his family. Mike and Kay and their two boys moved to Clinton about the same time that we did. Wes, Mike's youngest son, and Cam, my daughter, graduated from high school in the same class, and Barry, who is two years older lives close to Mike and Kay.

Both Wes and Barry played baseball at Hinds Community College, where I taught, and also for Mississippi College.

I didn't see a lot of Mike until he retired a couple of years ago, but after that we tried to meet for coffee as often as possible.
