Third born, second son is MICHAEL WAYNE. Our latest arrival (according to the clock) at 9:13 PM on June 22, 1982, (birthday #26 coming up) Michael is our "tender" child -- loving, caring, emotional -- and our family clown. What a fun, funny personality. He adores children and his nieces love to play with him. It takes a lot for them to wear out Uncle Michael. He is a passionate sports fan and, because his brothers do not share the same passion, usually converses with me about stats and standings, although I only follow the D-backs somewhat faithfully.
One of Michael's strongest talents, IMHO, is music. During middle and high school, he played in the band. Some of the instruments he played were trumpet, mellophone, french horn, and baritone. He was in EAC Honors band with the french horn. Alas, he no longer plays for lack of instrument. He also has a good singing voice and can play the piano but it's been a while. At the age of 3, he kept us entertained on a car ride singing all the songs from "Sound of Music" complete with expression and you should have seem him and Trevor doing the Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye sisters number from "White Christmas"! I feel he would make an excellent music teacher or elementary school teacher.
The biggest (littlest - see photo) news in Michael's life is Michelle Baugh. He met her while visiting Derek in Laramie, WY two years ago. When Derek and family moved back to AZ last year, Michelle, wanting a change from COLD WY, came, too. They reconnected and, (cue music from "My Fair Lady") "They're getting married in November!" Living in Tucson, he works for a company that handles credit card information and just got promoted to coach - helping/training other employees.

Congratulations on the engagement!!! Maybe you can talk him into singing a song for Michelle at the reception for everyone to hear!
just a question. Does he work for Discover Card?
C & K - Michael works for Convergys and his section handles American Express accounts. He says there is an office in Utah, too.
oh ok. I used to work for Discover Card that had a center in AZ and we refered to our managers as "coach".
Yeah for Micheal tell him hi for me the next time you see him. This is fun to catch up on all of your kids.
