I was so very sorry to hear about my fellow classmate, Mark, from the "Class of 1972" from another fellow classmate. I fondly remember riding the bus with Mark from our homes in McKnighstown and riding bikes and skateboards on what we called the "blacktop" right in front of his family's home. From reading his obituary it sounds like he had a very successful and fulfilling life and I am so very happy for that.
