All

I'm very saddened to hear this news.  I met Mark at Ed Wingate's T'thon in 
2000 if memory is correct; great guy (electrician by trade), unafraid to 
"think out of the box" and try new ideas (witness party cap, and triggered 
spark gaps as examples).

Need to build a party cap system and triggered cap coil.  Terry would be 
great to keep his postings mirrored up there, lot of good info.
