pictures of Mark

I'm sorry
the first email was sent accidentally, before I finished with pictures.
I met Mark at my very first origami convention in 2011 in Long Island, New York
Origami Heaven.
I came there with another origamist who passed away Russell Sutherland and Mark welcomed me like he used to: with an empty bag which I should fill with his pins.... Few years later he came to German convention, I wanted to pay back for his generosity, but he looked on my works and said that this is his pay back - the way I found my place in origami.
Both Mark and Russell found in me an origami potencial and asked me to work with it, and without them and Origami Heaven I wouldn't be what I am - as a matter of fact....
In the restaurant he tought me how to fold a dollar bull and I still have the one he folded for me, as same as many magnets on my fridge. He will be missed by all of us . Lots of love to Arlene!

[EXTERNAL] -Photos for Mark

It’s very sad to hear of Mark’s passing. I was fortunate in my younger years to be able to travel to the US from London, for 1 or 2 conventions including OUSA and PCOC, and I was blessed to meet him there.   He immediately demonstrated his kind loving nature and his character of sharing. From giving away loads of his handmade origami badges (which my mum wears all the time with her Saris) to giving away photocopies of diagrams he had collected over time.   I will miss his fun, loving qualities and I pray he will rest in peace.   Vignesh Cumareshan (London, British Origami Society) ------------------------------------------------------------- Notice of Confidentiality: The contents of this e-mail and any attachments are confidential and copyright to HCA International and may also be privileged.

Hi Mark

Hi Mark I started bringing my nieces to the convention when they were about 8 years old. (They are 22 now)  It became a tradition to buy a pin or two from you at each convention.  When they were young, they would ask to go see the "Pin Man".   This is a photo of Kristen and Courtney at the last convention they attended at Manhattan College. We are all sending happy thoughts your way.
