Memories of Michael: Mike’s World VR Project (2000)
I went to graduate school with the idea of creating an immersive virtual environment of my interpretation of my brother Mike’s world. Technical problems prevented me from completing this work. Instead I created a museum of sorts that represented my view of Mike from the outside.
Memories of Michael: Mike Makes a Sign (~1993)
When I saw Mike do the hand sign for ‘drink’, I was amazed. I never thought he could learn. His learning was temporary though. Just like some of his learning as a baby, this behavior disappeared after a little while.
Memories of Michael: See-Saw in Willowbrook Park (Photos – early 1960s)

Memories of Michael: Mike About to Grab My Hand (1992)
I would visit Mike often with Mom and Dad. Mike liked to walk in the park near the group home.

Memories of Michael: Sputnik for Halloween (~1962)
Mike must have been gone by this time. Mom made me this costume. I’m pretty sure it was for Halloween.
Memories of Michael: Mikey at Home in Baltimore (~1950)
I wonder if Mike made the same noises as a toddler than he did later on in life.
