Mark's Story
After leaving school I went into Radio News broadcasting and eventually did everything from sweep the floors to run several radio stations plus a slot as Network News Anchor for Standard Network News and CBN News. I also pulled stints in Public Information and Public relations and owned and operated Chesapeake Plastics Inc. and Bay Plastics and Supplies.
Married Linda Oakes I.R. class of '71 we have two children W. Mark III, and Bonnie Jean, both graduates from I.R. We left Va. in '96 to work for WKIS radio in Daytona Beach, moved to Brandon in the Tampa area in late '96 and been here ever since.
My son now works for the National Radio Observatory at University of Va. He is married to Piper Brown of I.R. My Daughter Bonnie lives nearby and is also married, no grand kids yet.
I was medically retired...Expand for more
by heart attack a few years ago but am still plugging along and bugging the hell out of politicians as often as possible, as a result I am probably on DHS's watch list because I still believe in obeying and enforcing the Constitution. I really miss my radio talk shows and would have given Rush a run for his money until I was knocked out of the business.
I would love to attend the reunion but was recently in Va. to visit my 90 year old Dad and can't make it to the reunion, I wish I had known about it before our trip at the start of March so I could have rescheduled, oh well I can't dance worth a damn anyway, never could. I hope everyone has a great time, I'll be thinking of y'all partying hardy, or hardly partying depending on how life and your body has treated you, I hope it's a real blast.
Enjoy
