Michael Crocker
Michael Crocker, Dhahran 1965, passed away. Michael was the founder of ABI and ArabianCamelot.com.
Diana Ryrholm and Mike Simms write, "It is with great sadness that we report to you of the passing of one of our own. The Black Camel came and carried our Brat brother Michael Crocker DH 1965 into the night to join all of the others of the Brat family that have gone before him.
Above all else Michael was a Brat and dedicated at least the last 20 years of his life to fostering and promoting the Brat spirit that ties us all together. When Bratdom was in chaos and the tradition of reunions had a very uncertain future, Michael stood up and did something about it. Gathering a group of like-minded Brats around him, he formed the ABI, rebuilt the contact database, wrote a stringent set of bylaws that dedicated the new organization to the protection of Brat ideals and charged the board of directors with fiduciary responsibility to make sure that Brat funds are protected.
The ABI is Michael's legacy to us all. His dedication to connecting ALL Brats together is the example he leaves for us. He will be sorely missed."
