Michael Collins was a highly talented and very professional Professor and actor. He was one of the most sought after professors at Bloomsburg University. Anyone who sought his advice usually got it. After I dumped the Geology major, I debated returning to the Theatre Major if Only to do scriptwriting and Theatre management. I liked working in the box office on opening night of plays at Carver Hall. Michael could always put a smile on people's faces, could always make you laugh even if you felt down. I remember the last conversation with him but it was to ask how he liked his trip to London this spring. As usual he had a good time. While writing my book, I try to keep that gentle soul's advice in mind and that is to make conversation realistic. I loved scriptwriting class and wish I could have done better.
I plan on continuing to write scripts if only to brainstorm scenes in my book and wonder how he would have liked it. I want to dedicate it to him. He was one of my favorites.
I believe he was a naturally gifted professor who love to teach his students. We walked away better people because of michael collins and he will be forever missed. Rest in peace michael.
RIP Michael with these words: All angels come to us disguised--james russel lowe.
