  • Stratton, Michael Alfred (11/14/1987)

    We do not have an official obituary for Michael (Strats) stratton, but here is a link to a great story about him in the April 1986 Dartmouth Alumni Magazine (DAM).

    Here is a writeup contributed by classmates:

    There has been much written and said about Mike and the common denominator is: he was one helluva guy. Being larger than life, outdoors, and active was a good description of Mike but did not define him.
