Default Re: Mark Tallent in the hospital

Called Alex and broke the news to me around 1:30 ET. I spent the whole day at Barrett - Jackson and couldn't help think of Mark with every Mustang I saw. Enjoyed the day, spending most of it with Elaine Larsen (jet jockey) and Scott Demmy (M/SA). Elaine was bidding on a car and wanted my assistance. It was a bittersweet day though, knowing Mark is gone. I remember Mark's car when Al & Don Keen owned it. I couldn't wait for the day I would finally meet Mark since he & Alex were good buds. Never ever heard a bad thing about him. Had fun with him here on Class Racer on a few occasions.

Please read my first post in this thread as it holds truth. Cherish the time you have and give thanks to God for every new day. From what I've heard, Mark would probably want us all to do the same.

R.I.P. Mark.
