Title: Mark By: Charlie Siever Posted: August 20, 2009 4:25 PM
I Rembemer Mark from Devry where he was an TA & I leaned on him for help as a struggling 5t student. Then when I went to work at Lietz in 83 here he was again training me on red 1's & 1A's. Mark remained a friend after I left Sokkia in 92. Thwe last time I talked to him was the Friday the 7th he called me at work to give me his cell # & to tell me about his upcomming operation. He will be missed.
