Memory of Mickey
Here are some more random memories of Mickey:
Mickey the Mathematician: Before he decided to become a doctor, Mickey was a mathematician–and this knowledge and expertise never left him. When Jeremy was at Grady High School, I undertook the job of rebuilding the signboard by the entrance to the parking lot on 10th St. It was a Saturday afternoon and I had this long board on sawhorses in our driveway, trying to duplicate the curved arch that was on the top of the sign. Not being possessed of any king of artistic ability, I was struggling to make both ends of the curved arch appear at least somewhat symmetrical. About that time, Mickey and Sharon drove up to drop something off for Trisha and when I expressed my frustration to Mickey, he said: “Here, let me have your pencil and your ruler.” He proceeded to do some quick calculations and measurements, and came up with a formula to exactly copy one end to the other–voila, a perfect match!
Mickey the Artist: Lots of folks have posted about Mickey’s coloring, or making dolls, etc., but he was also quite a talented artist. I remember when Clint Deveaux was running for a judgeship in Fulton County, he did not have any yard signs. So Mickey got some signboard material and drew an incredible head shot of Deveaux, turned it into a yard sign and posted it in their front yard!
