I was in the St.Paul Scouts drum and bugle corps with Mark, from 1964 to 1970 Stayed at my house a few times when we were in our early teens. Mark was a great guy, and a good athlete and drummer. I remember he was the only guy I ever knew that rigged his windshield washer reservoir line, in to the front seat of his Buick to dispense alcohol. What a guy. I feel privileged to have been his friend. Condolences to your family, and sorry for your loss.
