In remembrance of Mark C.
Pinned
I sure most if not all of us were shocked by the news of Mark's passing, for me is was a very sad post to read as It probably was for most. One of the things I truly enjoyed about Mark was his sense of humor, it was a little twisted imho much like my own and I'm pretty sure he would like to be remembered for it among lots of other good things about him. With that in mind I present this thread as a place to share some of your fond memories of him if you would like.
I'll start with the first line from an email he sent me when He, MJ and HPD were searching for new moderators:
"Hello. First, you aren't in any trouble in the forums!"
He then followed up with this after I told him yes i would be interested in being a moderator:
"Good morning, Bret.
I always start out with the "You haven't done anything wrong" disclaimer...unless of course someone has!"
Please share your fond memories of Mark also.

I loved his stories and pictures of eastene Europe. I have suspected he might be one of the most intelligent guys on here.

Mark was a very fine man, very helpful and full of information and more then willing to share it all.
A shock to hear this,
R.I.P. Mark
He is already missed and will be remembered with fondness by all who knew him in this community of ours.

Shocking and disturbing, Mark will be missed. I am fortunate enough to have purchased a Mark Christian M1-Garand a few years back. I will keep it for all my years.

From a PM back in September 2021:
"Jim, you make me laugh so often that I should ban you because of it. Of course I'd never do such a thing.
Best, Mark C."

He's been gone for almost 3 weeks, like many others I'm curious too. Never read or heard him speak of any family.
