"Mush" was one of he nicest, kindest people ever. He left us way too soon. He was a great team-mate and an even better person.Leslie D. Waters
I remember one day walking with Marshall to his home, after school (2nd grade, I think), where my mother was going to pick me up. His parents had a very humble home, but they were very gracious and friendly. I remember that Marshall (at least in Eugene Field) didn't have a lot of friends, but he never let that make him bitter or resentful, and was friendly to all. He was a quiet and true friend.
