Remembrances
I attended elementary and junior high school with Michael Heath in Pittsburg, Ca. I did not know him well but I remember him as kind and bright young man. After all these years, it still saddens me that he and so many others perished in Jonestown. God Bless You Michael.

I remember playing baseball with Michael. Still makes me sad to this day that such a young kid died for no reason.
