I never met Mark. But he was always so gracious about my blatherings concerning the 'old days'. Several times he PMd me to learn more.

I know that so many of you knew him as a gregarious social creature. That's such a great tribute, and I wish that I experienced that side of him. I knew him only by pen (keyboard) as a gentleman.

Because we shared a love for the 'big dogs' I guess I found him to be a kindred spirit.

Dogspeed, Dawg.
