University of Maine at Farmington

Born in 1909, Mickey grew up in Auburn where he played football and basketball in junior high and high school.  In 1932, Mickey enrolled in the Farmington State Normal School.  He played basketball for FSNS from 1932-1943, helping the 1933 team to a New England championship.  After college, Mickey stayed in Farmington and did some coaching, officiating, and newspaper reporting.  He added the variety store business to his newspaper work in the early 1950s.  It is for his outstanding support, through his weekly column, of athletics at UMF and the Farmington area that he has been inducted into the UMF Athletics Hall of Fame.
