We are mourning the tragic and senseless death of our friend, past-president and lead engineer of ANSR. Michael was an inspiration to all ANSR members, NASA Space Grant participants, High Altitude Ballooning and edge of space experimenters worldwide. For further details, follow the thread on ANSR "ballooning" group page at:

On behalf of his friends, the ANSR Board of Directors and members, may he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Michael's family and his many friends.
