Carolyn, just received a phone call from Dan Montoya informing me of Mark's passing. My deepest condolences! I do realize that 50 years have passed since high school but I did think of you guys through the years. I have always wondered what became of a lot of folks from Roy. I hope that you are well and please pass my condolences to the rest of your family. My prayers are with you guys.
