We are sorry to hear about Mark´s passing. He was a funny guy and fun to be around. We´ve thought about your visit to us here in Fort Myers and the night we went out. It was so much fun. A horrible rain storm almost electrocuted the singer and the tent was flooded. You guys were real troopers and in spite of it all, it was a memory. So thanks for the memory. Peace.
