I never worked up the courage to ask if I could drive it to school. I wonder if he would of let me. I guess it doesn't matter , Mom and Dad wouldn't have allowed it. Thanks Sheri for continuing his site. Carl I remember Mark taking me for a ride on the trike once when I was in high school. I never worked up the courage to ask if I could drive it to school.

He was always very kind and conversed when we would meet in the hall~loved to talk about riding bikes, a shared passion. Once I saw him in downtown Elkton in the town square where they had live music on Thursday nights.. He asked me to join him to hear the music.............I had better things to do, like meet up with my drinking buddy at the Howard House. If I could go back to that day I would really like to stay and talk with him and listen to the music. I would tell my other friend, some other time. So he was right, make your decisions count. Take Care Mark, I wish you peace. I met Mark at Basell. He was always very kind and conversed when we would meet in the hall~loved to talk about riding bikes, a shared passion.

It was very sad to learn what was the reason behind delay in response. Decided to google last sunday morning, and after a while navigated to those torn pieces of news. Clear, unaffected and precise, so tight in time with us yet communicated, hard to swallow. Such things make us think again, and then again. Several days in row now, since learned. It happens, we share friendships with bike - they are very liberating. You feel riding freedom, it is ultimately simple and manageable. For the first time on these pages, I saw man fitting one into the bag, adding another dimension to the meaning of free travel. Oh, one more bag for the trailer - to suffice without any lack remaining... Most likely, I will never travel that much, as is observable here. But, for sure, these are distant places for dreaming of visiting. Seeing somebody done it, does help.

What your Dad told you is true. Although we never met, I am deeply saddened by his death. He contacted me several years ago before his first trip to Mexico because I live in Veracruz and I helped him map out this first trip. Later he contacted me about his bicycle trip to Mexico, and I guided him through the lesser travelled routes through Tantoyuca and on to Veracruz. I think he hit Veracruz during Carnaval and I was out of town and we never got a chance to meet. You can see his pictures here: http://markschaumann.com/category/veracruz/ A long time ago, I lived in Guatemala, and know the pleasure he felt of being in Quezaltenango. It is a beautiful city with a lot of very nice people, and I followed his web postings with great interest. I am so sad to see that he is gone now, and that we never had a chance to meet. I think we could have talked for hours and hours about the same places we had been and about people we met along the way. I think that he left us all a legacy of a way at looking at the way we live our own lives, and left us richer because of our contact with him. Saludos, John Sheri:

He must have been a great father. Always remember to be thankful that you knew him, and never forget the great things he brought to you & your son's life. He's in an awesome place right now.

We need to live each day as if it is a last day of our life. Mark will be missed by millions. But he is in a better place with the God. My condolences to the family, especially to Sheri who has lost her dear Dad. Life is short. We need to live each day as if it is a last day of our life. Mark will be missed by millions.
