I can’t recall when I first met Mark; it seemed he had always been there, like the mountains that surrounded the Agoura Faire and as strong as they. Later – 1987, it would have been - after the Faire moved to Devore he attended my first performance of “Torna’s Harp” there in the McGarry’s booth. I can see him now, candle-lit, in the back row pounding his knees in excitement at a part of the story that he particularly liked. He was one of those people who will build you up all the time and never do the slightest thing to lessen you. Thank you, Mark.
