  20. To the Ivaun Family, My condolences for your loss. I knew Mike from high school and through his tenure at WPD. I would like to share that many times at Madonna Track Practices while many of us were doing our laps you could hear what sounded like a little freight train coming and sure enough it was Mike coming up on us with his low to the ground and huge strides, he would just whiz right past us. When Mike did something he always did it to the max.
