Mark was a political science major that began with his review of the Nixon era and continued thru Whitewater...he read the newspaper every single day and kept his finger on the changing political landscape over 50 years with amazing enthusiasm. His happiest times were here in the Ozarks where he made so many incredible friends at the Lake Sequoyah boat dock...barefoot - clad in cutoff shorts showing off his stringers of redear, bass & the elusive monster he caught by the old refrigerator in his flatbottom aluminum boat with just a trolling motor. He adored storm chasing and he had aspirations of making it official...we had a few close calls,, but what a rush.. And anyone that knew Mark knew he was one of the biggest wrestling fans ever from ECW to WWF and evolving WWE franchises supporting women in bigger roles - he Loved Everything about it. So, get your fish on before sunset...do what you love, set off those fireworks (he LOVED July 4th), and send a toast with a little Jack on 3 cubes of ice... To Mark.
