Just last week, I was at Clark Pharmacy picking up a prescription. Standing in front of me was Mark's Dad, Jim Wilson, who was a car salesman for years at Allen Motors. He is 94 years old and still driving - slowly! Mark's Mom was in the car, so chatted with her. Her health is marginal, at best, but they are still living in the same house that Mark grew up in over off Hollywood Blvd. NE. I told them that on my bicycle rides to Solon, I have stopped at the cemetary outside of Solon where Mark is buried and pay my respects. They told me at their age, they can only get there once a year. When Mr. Willson pulled out of the parking lot at Clarks, on 42nd St. it took him at least 5 minutes to leave. Pretty slow it went. He probably shouldn't be driving, but my hat is off to them both - still living at home, taking care of each other at 94 years old. Wow! Just thought I would share this.
