Remembrances

Mark started square dancing with the original Foggy City Squares under Skip Barrett in 1981, then moved on to Western Star in 1982. He was active in the Harvey Milk Gay Democratic Club, and a supporter of progressive candidates, including Carole Migden. He was survived by his partner Harry Knight.

The self-portrait included here is one of my favorites. Mark was very interested in photography.
