Well Mike did composite tooling for full size boats for a number of years in the mid to late ninties. accelerated Silicosis was the first thing Mike was told and was put on medication to prevent further damage to his lungs.A bio. was done and thats when the cancer was discovered.From that point he lived a short time after enduring 2 colapsed lungs and the resulting surgeries to repair the leaks in addition to the raidiation treatment and the breathing equipment he was forced to wear.Through all that he still managed to be concerned about the Prowler and various other projects.Being as close to Mike as I was and reading you guys comments about the project is pretty cool.Thanks Turbulence and Rojeck.


Here afew shots of Mike and the Prowler.
