Mark Kennedy died last week; he was Dad's lifelong friend and he was a member of our family. I remember Mark as far back as I can remember anything. He always was "Uncle Mark" to my brother and I, and we'll miss him greatly. Since Dad's death Mark and I had been very close and I saw him often and talked with him every couple of months. Stephen and I both wanted to speak at his funeral which was this past Wednesday in Harrisburg, the weather forced Stephen to turn around, but I was already there and got to pay the respects of our family to his. His wife Mitzi has packed up their house and she will be living in Keene, New Hampshire with her family and grandchildren. In Dad's circle of friends, I'm not sure who knows whom, so I thought I would post this message here. Jim
