If you’ve been in this industry for even a couple of years, you have no doubt run into Mike DiSanto. Mike has been one of the busiest and most respected educators in the optical field for decades. By now, you may have heard that Mike has stage IV pancreatic cancer. While the Dr’s have told Mike “to let hospice take over”, in Mike’s own words he emphatically states, “I’m not ready to lay down in front of the bus just yet!”

Mike has spent countless days, nights and weekends away from home in order to teach countless hours of basic and continuing education courses to literally thousands of opticians, optometrists, ophthalmologists, lab personnel, customer service personnel, and vendor representatives. He also has written two books and a wide variety of educational materials, all to help optical people prepare for certification and to do their jobs better. Mike has touched so many lives, that it’s impossible to fathom how many people have benefited from his time and talents.

Please help me get the word out about this event by forwarding this email to all your optical colleagues. It would be so wonderful for Mike to have a room full of friends!
