I have not been paying attention to email for a number of months, and noticed I 
had over a thousand emails on the Comcast site I use just for VFB, and was 
tempted to delete them all, but then thought "No, I better check and make sure 
that no one has died."  Sadly, someone had.  

I met Mark and his wife when I last attended Sowbug, I loved the large, bold 
and  beautiful saltwater patterns he was tying then, and enjoyed meeting his 
wife even more.  They were a fun, happy couple, who often participated together 
at various fly tying expos.  I can remember thinking, "This is what I would 
like to do when I retire, be just like Mark." Well, I have retired, but the 
Expo fly tying hasn't materialized.

Mark was a lot like his flies, a big personality who commanded attention.  I 
was fun to get to know him, and I had looked forward to meeting him again.  A 
sad, sad loss.  My prayers and best wishes go out to Misako.
