Mark was born 70 years ago today on October 2, 1950 in Boston, Massachusetts. He arrived at 10:40 a.m. and weighed 4 pounds 15 ounces. He was a twin, his sister Gail arrived a few minutes ahead of Mark. I had the great good fortune of spending 21 years with Mark. He was a wonderful partner and I will always love him. Now and Forever he is a part of me.
