I have known Mark for several years, and have seen him more often in
the last few years as we both flew out of Cal City. Mark flew his ASW 20
OD, hard and fast, and I often followed his pace as he called in position
reports on the radio, as he raced up and down the Sierra Range. I don't know all
the circumstances of his accident, but know that the Caracole group would have
done everything possible to help him when he failed to make it back to the
field. I will miss his words and his thoughts on this sport that was such a
big part of him. Mark will be missed, he was a good guy, he was a good
stick, he was my friend. Larry Jolly
