Mark McKinnon

A friend of mine showed me Mark's obituary a few days ago and asked if I knew him. The friend was a West class of '74 grad, and I was a Dimond '74 grad. I told him that Mark streaked through Dimond one day! I walked by Mark in the hallway a few days after the hilarious incident, and he explained that one of the Principals tackled him and took his mask off. Once the Principal saw that it was Mark, he let him go. That was a good way to get some sprinting exercise!
I hadn't talked to...

I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother, Mark. Also, I'm sorry you lost your father last year. I remember both of them fondly from our childhood years. I had to laugh when I read in his obituary that he had streaked in the high school. I remember standing outside my grandma's house with you Edie when some guy went streaking right in front of us on 46th and you nonchalantly said, "Oh, that's my brother Mark." I was actually sharing that story with a friend just a few weeks ago. I pray...

I went to school with Mark at Dimond-Mears and remember the gorilla! Peace be with you Mark...rest well. My condolences to his family. Kelli Minsch Banyai

I went to school from 7-12 grades at Dimond-Mears with Mark and although the class of '74 was a close group, many of us just seem to keep in touch now from afar.
I remember Mark always having a great time. We all knew him and his accomplice well, but after the infamous streaking incident we knew them better! It was so scandulous then, but those were different times!
Over the years I thought of Mark often - always asking about him when reminiscing with former classmates, but never...

I wish I could have been able to attend the reunion and met Mark.
The family now has another guardian angel.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

May the "peace of God "(Philipians 4:6,7) be yours as your family copes with such a loss. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
