I will miss the talks I had with Mark on literature, Israel, music and botany.
Mark took me to San Francisco on the F bus from Berkeley (our home town) many times in our childhood. Mark and I walked through Chinatown, North Beach, and down to Fisherman's Wharf. Mark also took to many times to the UC Berkeley botanical garden, where he talked to me about the plants and we had a picnic lunch. He was quite the plant expert. I will miss you Mark. Love, Megan (eldest sister)
