Thank You Been there for helping me out. My post is rather superfluous without a link!
Mark Stothard was the kind of guy you could write a book about. Don't believe I am the guy to do it, because you'd have to recapture what it was like to be around him. He had a wicked, vulgar sense of humor that you'd have to be able to speak in his voice to do properly. I'll try to give you a taste: Mark had a daughter who had health problems and spent a lot of time in the hospital. A little boy who was in the same wing had to have a leg amputated, and was feeling down about it. To cheer him up, Mark exclaimed,"Boy, they'll have an easy time tracking you in the snow!!" If I said, that, they'd throw me out of the building. Somehow Mark had a delivery that cracked up the boy, and both his parents until they doubled over. Later he got a letter from the boy's father thanking him for lightening the mood.
