Mark was much smarter and more intelligent than the Peanut Gallery gave him credit for. If memory serves...Mark wrote the USAFA riggers manual among many other things. He was indeed much brighter than the average bear, I found the best way to argue a point with Mark was to tell him you disagree and why ...then shut up & let him evaluate your input. ...I use to watch with amusement when people would try to change his mind on something, and not let him analyze & evaluate in his way. When he would try to explain something to ME, I would have to remind him to break it down "Like you're talkin' to an old Pollock - public school product - "...which he was! We did a talk on Demo safety at the PIA convention a few years back, it was a pleasure doing that with him because I knew he would be well prepared and the overall scope of his knowledge, is second to none. During a pre-presentation run through with the other speakers featured on that forum, one of the things we were discussing the difference between a "Demo' & a 'Performance'. Mark and I were the two most experienced 'paid demo jumpers' in the group of speakers, with over 1000 each. I have more 'Performances' ...but he has more 'Demos' which is really more significant, because of the logistics and location variables. We were all kidding back & forth good natured about our skydiving 'credentials'...when of course Mark put his thumb on the scale with 'rigger' 'pilot' 'AFFI' 'SL-I' 'TI' ...etc. ~he was probably the really 'true' definition of a professional in the sport. When he was finished, I came back with 'Yeah, but I'm taller!" He looked me up & down all serious, finally nodding in agreement...then busted up big time, we were all laughing so hard we couldn't continue! Mark was unquestionably opinionated, but he was also a knowledgeable well informed individual. I always held the greatest respect for Mark, because I understand what it takes to do what he did on that highest level...the guy had the brains to dream big, and the balls to follow those dreams. THAT'S how 'I' remember Slyde! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~
