From James Maughan
When I first met Mike after some exams at Insead, he modestly revealed that he had not actually opened the envelope with his grades. He managed to keep his nerve and accumulate unopened grade envelopes all year til they informed him he was joint top of our class with Andrew Alli.
He was a very modest guy and his friendly, easy going style balanced his great intellect.
May he truly rest in peace, and we will always remember him.
James

I remember that too! Didn't Mike have a bet on this supreme feat of self-control?
Who else was doing it - and who else made it to the end of the year without looking?
I think it was Beefie.
Strange feeling to remember those very British eccentric things that happenend in the good old days and yet it is the image I want to keep from Mike.
Morgane and I are sad, very sad and think deeply to Wendy.
