What a beautiful summary of a life well lived, well imagined, well shared. Thinking of all the Richs and Linkletters.

The story on Mark Rich was exceptional. I am a former High School classmate of Mark's. We attended Sturgeon Bay High School in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. A small town on the Northeastern Peninsula of Wisconsin. On August 12, 2017 we had our 40th class reunion and Mark attended. It was his first and only reunion. He was kept busy all evening talking because there was so much catching up to do. Mark was one of those people who was heads above all others and you could see this as a teenager. You could tell he would go far in life, and he did. What an extraordinary person, brilliant mind and gift to all those who crossed paths with him. My personal and sincere condolences to his wife, Laura, and family. Mark definitely left his mark on this earth, which is extraordinary.
