From Don Andersen. I met Mark when we were both sophomores at Madison East High in Madison, Wi. We soon became friends, along with another group of crazy friends. We are all members of the high school and and/or chorus. We enjoyed many good times together. Going to Brewer games, The Esquire Club for fish and Paison's for Pizza. Also too many trips to our favorite campus bars during our college years. The Pub, The Red Shed and the KK just to name a few. We also managed to get together over the years when Mark returned to Madison for visits. After Mark returned to Madison we also enjoyed many rounds of golf. He was a really good golfer! While I will miss having Mark as a friend I will always remember all the good times and Mark's friendship over the past 50+ years. I would also like to offer my sympathy and prayers to June and Mark's family. I will miss Mark. Don Andersen
