Todd NelsonA few weeks back I was reminiscing about days gone by. I thought of Mark and some of the laughs we had at Parkside. I recall studying with Mark and others for Geography tests. I remember good times at the old school union next to Tallent Hall. Perhaps the most fun was at the many Parkside basketball games we would meet at when Parkside had one of the best small college teams in the country. Even though I hadn’t seen him in decades, I googled Mark and was so sad to see his obituary. This is surely a late message to leave but my condolences go out to Mark’s family. He was a terrific guy with a great sense of humor. I will always think fondly of him.
