Mark and his wife, Robin, have been married for 32 years and have three adult daughters, all of whom live in Chicago. Mark previously served with the St. Cloud Rotary and is excited to continue his service here in Rochester. While Mark currently commutes to Winona for work, he will be located in the new Chancery in Rochester (across from Lourdes High School) starting July 1. Mark is a St. John’s University graduate and is assisting with their 35th class reunion in June. He hopes all St. John’s and Saint Ben’s alumni attend reunions June 21–23!

John joined the Waverly Rotary Club in his early 20s and was president of the Club in 1978-79. John is also a Paul Harris Fellow. John moved to Florida in 2017 and also bought a condo in Rochester so he and Rosemary could volunteer at Mayo Clinic where he has been a patient for over 30 years.
