I met Ron at lunch one day shortly after moving to Otterbein
Cridersville. I asked him if he knew Mark Hanthorn. When he said he that Mark was his son, I knew exactly who he was! I told him that I had been a colleague of Mark’s. He was surprised, and we had a nice chat. I am sorry that Mark and his family have lost a dear man. I will pray that God will comfort all. With sympathy, Joan M. Nixon
