Wow! I'm very shaken by this. Mark was a special friend. He did a lot for me and I always enjoyed racing him to the vintage hook sales. We shared a lot of hooks over the years and I have every post card and letter he sent me. I will cherish them all. My thoughts are with Misako and I'm very thankful for their hospitality. I still miss our dear friend Chuck and have a really hard time looking at the pictures of all of us fishing and tying in Roscoe with Mark and Misa. He was a very special guy. Deb
