>From the obituary below -- that is indeed the Mark Jackson we knew! Ironically, I had been talking to him fairly regularly earlier last year because he was a semi-architect who was employed by a big group of home builders to sell homes. A real job. We were considering moving to Arkansas and everything looked fairly reasonable as far as pricing for what you got. So he filled me in. He semi-recently (although a several years) had a home built to his specs with his construction company!
One of the last things he said to me was that their company must be doing something right because they were selling, selling, selling the homes in his area of Haskell Arkansas. Things began to go downhill in our lives here so I did not get back in touch with him regarding purchasing a house with his help BUT he was more than willing to help. So all I can say is -- WOW. I had no idea anything happened to him and now David Kelmer. Jeepers. And, undoubtedly, we do not know a good number of quadriplegics that are falling victim to a nursing home or doctor or hospital negligence that we have never met. *Big Sigh* Lori Michaelson Age - 44 C4/5 complete quad, 29 years post Tucson, AZ On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 5:52 PM, t crook <[email protected]> wrote: > > [image: > E-mail]<http://www.bentoncourier.com/index2.php?option=com_content&task=emailform&id=151593&itemid=32> > Below > is the obituary I found, if in fact this was q-list member Mark Jackson (QP- > QuadPirate).
