I remember Mark from grade school in Waitsfield. He and I were friends and played together. I also remember his pretty sister and attractive mother. Mark and I went to a few local baseball games, when the Waitsfield High School team was playing at home. I believe I remember inviting him to our farm and him driving my pair of black & white oxen. I enjoyed Mark’s company a lot and also remember being envious, in a kind way, of him because he was so smart.
Many years passed and I met...
