“Regina, Thanks for writing. And yes I am (one of) the people that visited you in Colo Springs and went with Anthony to Pikes Peak. I was with Anthony and Adrienne, and Teri Jo… I would be happy to write something about Anthony, actually I have been meaning to write something on the memorial site, and I intended to do that last November on the aniversary of his death. But at the time I could not find the right words. You see, Anthony had a large impact on me for the short time I knew him… he and I saw a lot of things eye-to-eye and we had several long discussions about topics in religion and philosophy. The two of us connected on some higher level, and I often think about what he might have said about this or that subject. For months after his death, I thought over and over that I could have somehow made a positive impact on his thinking and prevented this tradegy. But it seems the demons that were pursuing him were beyond my helping him. Still, it sickens me that I could not stay his hand… I would love to see the pictures you mentioned, and you have my permission to post them. As I said, I will write a piece about Anthony and post it on this memorial site… he had a multitude of insightful thoughts and profound wisdom that were never shared with anyone, such is the nature of a life cut short before the sharing can take place. Take care and God bless, Mark”
