On October 7, 2023, Michael helped to unveil The Founders sculpture commissioned by Northwood University in Midland, MI to honor the institution’s founders – Gary Stauffer, Willa Stauffer, Johann Turner, and Arthur Turner. Many guests were on hand to see the sculpture and sit on the built-in bench to pose for photos with The Founders. It was especially moving for family members and other guests who knew the founders when they established Northwood back in 1959.
