Two years ago this month I was in a hospital room at Kaiser recovering from surgery. That night I had my appendix removed. At some point in the night I hear this guy get rolled in after his own surgery to my room. In hospitals you never know who you are going to get. The curtain was closed and all I could do was listen to the him tell the nurse that he was in a surfing accident. With that information I started a conversation through the curtain. It turned out that the guy next to me was Mike Davis, a local business owner and Grandview local who happened to surf in the same spot as me but we had never met until then. Over the next two days Mike and I bonded as we went through the experience of hospitalization together. When we got out we remained friends and still surf together.
Here is a shot of Mike in Cabo. He spends a good deal of his vacation time down there with his friends. When he is not surfing Grandview or Cabo he is busy cleaning up toxic properties to make our community a cleaner place. Thanks Mike for keeping me company and for dedicating your life to make this world a cleaner place.
