    I am an art teacher at Trask Middle School. I was clearing newspapers from a table when I saw Mike's obituary. I am almost certain this is the same Mike Core I taught at Willston (from 1977-1983). I remember him because he was such a great painter. In fact, I have one of his paintings! Thought maybe you would like to have it. It is in the art room at Trask. I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. French
