  1. Whatever happened to your step-son?

    1. That is an excellent question but, unfortunately,
      I honestly do not know what happened to Michael.

      1987 was both the year of my divorce
      and the year I started at Jefferson HS.

      At least five times, I have googled
      for information about Michael
      but the name is much too common
      to find any satisfying answer.

      All I can tell you is that Caucasian Michael Brown
      lived in Florida at that time and he warmly befriended
      my Godmother, Katherine Kampe.

      She was my Father's elder sister
      who died in ≈1993
