[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1139116, member: 22658"] I know that I have very much appreciated seeing the photo boards of happy memories when I have had family members and friends pass on. I am sure Mark would prefer us to remember those happy times to. With that in mind, I thought I would post a couple of pics I had of Mark, doing what we here on DRN all shared with Mark - dirt bikes! I thought I had many more pics, but I think some got lost on a crashed computer a year or so ago. This first pic is of him recieving a special award from our buddy Woodsy - the sign says "Woodsy Roostee". I am sure Woodsy can elaborate a bit on that story. The next pic is of Mark in turn 1 (#396) at the Camp Chaos Harescramble in 2005...lookin good! I think one great testament to Mark was the fact that on December 25th he wrote: [I]"I got out on my 950 on Xmas eve for about 30 minutes. It was great. There's no way I could ride the 450 unfortunately. But the 950 was a close 2nd to a dirt bike ride. Ya gotta do what you can do!" I hope you all have a great Christmas!!"[/I] What a great positive outlook - a biker to the end! And a friend to the end as well. Over the last several months in particular Mark and I shared many emails, a few phone calls. He and I both attended Central - we shared many CMU stories...back in the days of "Top 10 Best Party Schools"! He was so proud that his son Ben is about to start at Central as well. We was also proud of the great progress Andy is making, and of course of his daughter Emily. Mark also shared many great pearls of wisdom with me as I was contemplating a recent job change - helping guide my decision, actually was a key part of that decision making process. After I accepted that job - Mark was right there offering up advice on the travel component of the job. Your advice has been spot on Mark! One thing was clear from the various emails from Mark in more recent months - many many people cared deeply for him - and did a lot to help him out in the last several months. He was absolutely appreciative of the help everyone gave him. Tim - he mentioned you many times in fact. A real friend. One thing I will treasure forever is the Photo Book Mark made for me in 2005 after Camp Chaos that year. I will think of you every time I see it. Many many other bright snipits of Mark come to mind, but others chime in - post some pics of his smiling face! Rest in peace my friend. [/QUOTE]
