Amazing article and I am glad that they did this. I have known Mark since I was little. I used to eat breakfast on the weekend with him and Charlie Longhorn. Charlie was Mark's uncle and was Coach Salmons' great uncle, I believe. Charlie was as close as a family member to me and was a neighbor of mine growing up. I used to run up to Charlie's house every morning, eat breakfast with them, and watch The Price is Right at 11 every weekday. On the weekends, Mark would be there every once in a while and he joined us at breakfast. Mark used to always ask me where I went to school. And I would always tell him Racleand. He then would ask me, "The Rams?? The Rams are the best! Ram basketball is awesome". Of course as a child, I didn't know the difference between Mark and a normal person, but as I reached high school, I realized that Mark is a normal person, with a special heart for Raceland Football.
If any Williamsburg fans travel up Friday night, you should stop and talk to Mark. Great guy.
