to Toledo, Ohio where he lived until he went into the U.S. Marines. After an
honorable discharge Mike joined a major oil refiner and in 1971 was transferred from Toledo, Ohio to the Delaware area. After 29 years of work at the oil refiner in a management position Mike retired and
started his own business. Mike was contracted and worked around the US and in Bombay, India.

and Shovels. Mike is very grateful for the support and dedication of all people
associated with Bibles Books and Shovels.
