Mark, Blown away by your words to/about Marylor. You may recall Ed was my 11th grade English Teacher at Helena HS, 1963-64. The more important news was when I came home from Vietnam to UM in 1969-73, Ed and Marylor were here at UM, and invited me to dinner, cementing a lifelong friendship enhanced by all you did for both, allowing me to say as (ex) neighbor, friend, admirer, I love you as I loved Ed and Marylor, and I love Pam too, Sean as well, only wishing we knew Cache as well. Jean newer to this love affair of 50+ years, has grown to love you as as well, Blessed are we both. It makes life possible, wanted each day to know friends like you walk the earth!
I knew and indirectly worked with Marylor eons ago at UM. My UM days are ending soon . . . 35 years. Cannot believe it. I've recently had the pleasure of meeting Marylor's granddaughter, Grace, who did the art work for the cover of her book! She is married to a friend's son. I so enjoyed her book of poems. And thanks for sharing the challenges you faced helping her get across the finish line. As readers, we never know the story behind the story!
Beautiful as always, Mark! I really enjoy your blog!
Glad to talk to you today. So many intertwined memories just all of a sudden. I am missing my mom many days and then other times, I feel grateful that her dying and death was swift. Hope we can go for a burger and a beer sometime soon and talk in person. I work weird shifts, schedules so please keep trying. 4065462671 ❤️
