I still think about Mark every day. The older I have gotten I have become hard of hearing. Mark wore aides as long as I can remember and was really the first person I knew outside my family with hearing problems. I now know why he smiled so much. There ARE positive aspects to not being able to hear on many occasions

I spent a lot of time with Mark in the late sixties and early 70s in junior high and hanging out at Dean Wheelers house on Gilbert. Mark used to help our band Mongoose with our equipment. RIP Mark.
