People I Know: Mike Lopez

People I Know posts are simply that. It is me, talking about people I know. I am doing this for two reasons: 1. Mike Lopez asked me to write a post about him. 2. I don't have anything better to do. Hit the comments if you want to be featured, or if you have suggestions about other areas that I should cover. Enjoy!

Mike Lopez at his most adorable

Race: Presumably Mexican, although I've never asked.

Met: Late August of 2004, freshmen year at Marquette High, in Mr. Ralphson's  Biblical Literature Class. He wore a hoodie that mispelled his name as "Lopes".  He referred to me Chris Schwaylay. Possibly the only class we had together, although I don't remember.
