You never know where life is going to take you. Many years ago you came into my life. I truly have enjoyed the friendship that we shared. I will remember always our last visit and glass of wine. Rest in Peace my Friend.
I have many happy memories of the outings I've done with Mac. He always made them more fun, more interesting and funny. The first experience was canoeing down the Iowa City and not finding a camping spot until it was pitch dark, then camping in a corn field with a bunch of foreign students. There were many local bike rides with dinners at Solon or Amana. We did the Rhine River from Zurich with Bev, Elliott and Joye. And many trips down the Upper Iowa City camping. Not to forget the power boat outings on the Mississippi, water skiing and camping. How about the flight to the Bahamas and Caicos Islands! .. More fun. When I would ask him if he wanted to go ... he would always say, "Yes" without my finishing the sentence.... How about the Niobrara River in Nebraska ... and the Dismal.. Elliott was fly us in and would camping in the town square. I'm so sorry he was in such poor health in his later years. He was a great guy and I will miss him.
My heartfelt condolences on your family's loss. Mac was my professor and mentor when I began archaeology at U of I in 1970... Many great times with him and the staff at the OSA.... I remember him with great admiration and fondness...
I first met Marshall when I was working at Jerry's Standard in Iowa City in 1975. He was a regular customer and I could always count on a huge smile, a verbal jab/poke or two, a pat on the back and a "thank you" as he left. It's been almost 40 years but he is one of the customers I remember and always enjoyed seeing.
