I guest starred on Bonanza in the episode "The Brass Box" with Michael. I remember sitting and relaxing on the set talking with Michael and Lorne Greene while the cameraman and crew were setting up for another sequence. I was listening to both of them sharing with me about having purchased some land and being in the process of building condominiums on that property. After learning of its potential I asked if any of the land was still available. It sounded like a great investment. They gave me a number to call and I did but I was a few days too late. Those that invested made a great deal of money. It was located in the Marina del Rey area which grew to be one of the wealthiest coastal areas of Los Angeles. Need I say more?!

What I remember most about Michael was his professionalism. He was a joy to work with and had a great sense of humor.
