Who Knew?

His favorite foods are sushi and dim sum.

He has never won the Noble Peace Prize.

At various points in his life, Mark wanted to grow up to be Walt Disney, Rod Stewart, Franz Beckenbauer, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Whitacker in Sigmund and the Sea Monsters andValeriy Borzof.

He can remember when gas cost $0.36 a gallon.

In 5th grade Mark was Captain of the Safety Patrol.

In the eighth grade he was ranked fifth in the state of NJ in the 440-yard sprint. (Back then it was measured in yards, not meters. And measured in the snow. Uphill. Both ways).

He missed breaking the school record in the 440 by 0.1 second and is still miserable about it.
