"I happened to see the death notice of Mike Dennard this morning in the Ledger. Mike was a 1969 classman, and an great guy. His brother Randy was also a Baker graduate. I know his family and friends will miss him, as well as old friends that have not seen him in years. I hope his passing was swift and gentle, and that God welcomes another good soul." -- Martin A.
