Mark Wilson

From Claire Yoder, RN, JD: We met Mark while working on the Navajo reservation. 79-81. In a short time he married Gwen and had Brian as we got married also and had our first child Emily. Despite pregnant women on his hands Mark boldly took us on a long hike over rocks and valleys until we could go no further. As the sun was setting he ran for the car to gallantly drive us back. A kind man, always up for adventure we remember him with only love—Claire and Eric Yoder
