I knew Mark as Birdman and I shortened it to Bird early on as we were blog friends for many years. I will miss him...

My sincere and deepest sympathies to Mrs. Norton and family.
I was actually a student of Mrs. Norton's from '73 through '76.
To know that someone who had such a profound effect on my life has suffered a terrible loss, causes me great sadness.
May you find comfort in the people closest to you and God bless you.
