I'd like to add my words of sympathy to Mark's friends and family. I'm pleased to note that Mark's professional accomplishments were recognized by his peers in 2002 when he was invested Sir Mark, Chancellor of the (Privy) Directory in the Order of the Knights of VM at VM's 30th birthday party at the SHARE meeting in San Francisco.

He is perhaps best known as the primary designer and developer of Dirmaint for most of the last 15 years, where his committment to customer satisfaction was legendary. In the community, Mark was a strong supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, providing web services and information to Scouts, Venturers and leaders in our area as well as being a scout leader himself. He will be missed. Regards, Alan Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
