Oak Park. "He always came pre-
pared with an article or a topic
related to Judaism to discuss;'
Rabbi Finman said. "At our first
meeting, he asked me about
organ donation. He was heavily
involved in politics and the last
time we learned together, the
week before his death, he wanted
to talk about Proposal 2 [affirma-
tive action].
"A pivotal point in his life was
his Judaism. And peace in the
world was definitely a goal in
his life. He even named his son
`Shalom, which means peace in
Hebrew"
Those who knew him best
say they will carry on what Mr.
Michlin stood for. "His work
toward world peace and peace
in Israel will live on in the work
we all will continue to do," Leslye
Borden said.
Added her husband, "His
vision of an interconnected,
peaceful, Jewish, Christian,
Muslim community, which he
never lost, was simply one that
the world has to catch up with."
Michlin is survived by his
children, Leslye Joyce and Dr. Phil
Borden of Rancho Palos Verdes,
Calif., Kenneth Brian and Linda
Michlin of West Bloomfield,
