Wszystkiego Najlepszego Michael E. Dunagin!!!

Happy 37th Birthday going out to Mike Dunagin, my favorite American in Poland and probably my favorite Mikey of all time!!!

My life would have significantly less happiness had Mike not going to Podkowa Lesna to go to church oh so long ago and left me with his phone number and email. Not long after which, we got together and Mikey made me pancakes, a tradition we have carried on from time to time. Since then Mike and I have gone to Prague, tackled 2 Thanksgiving dinners, started the new year off together, and visited various other northern Polish cities. Mike was with me at the Valentine's Banquet, at my birthday party, at the airport when I left Poland, at the airport when I returned to Poland, and many other events which are too many to count, name, or remember.

If it weren't for Mike, I wouldn't be in Poland today. Mike was the one who told me my "fate" lies in Poland and went out of his way on various occasions to get me into the Academy by either going there and asking questions when I could not, or helping me through the masses of bureaucracy. Besides opening my eyes to the big bad government and guiding me to a truer political party, Mike has always offered rock solid support and dependable friendship.

Mike, I love ya man! Thanks for being an awesome friend and like the brother I never had. Looking forward to wishing you many more "Happy Birthday's" in the years to come!
