Michael Santos and his wife Carole, both 1982 Shorecrest graduates, married while he was in federal prison, serving a 25 year term for distributing cocaine.
In an article in Business Insider, Michael explains how they were able to sustain and nourish a marriage during his final decade of incarceration.
Carole and I knew each other through grade school, junior high, and high school. We grew up in Lake Forest Park, a suburb of North Seattle, but we were not close friends as children. After we graduated from Shorecrest High School, in 1982, our paths went in different directions and we lost touch with each other. She married someone and had two children soon after graduation, and I began a reckless transition into adulthood. In 1987, authorities arrested me for my role in a scheme to distribute cocaine.
