Mark is 6 year old, my protector. I am 4
We lived in a small house at that time, which was basically one big room. Bedroom, kitchen all in the same room. We were very close knit family. Maybe not by choice, The house was old. When windy outside the curtains would move. The floor boards had serious gaps.
When our mom had to Go to grocery store, just about everyday, she had to leave us alone . I would always love to sit on my potty under the desk. Mark, well he got busy killing the mice that came up thru the cracks of the floor , with an ax. As he is going around with the ax he’s mad at them and swearing “ Ja te holery po zabijam”. I’m going to kill these bloody mice. He didn’t loose any toes.
1957 Mark the entertainer.
The small house collapsed so we moved into
An apartment, got upgraded to a two room.
We liked the place , closer to School, close to
A park where we could go play there every day
As we were in no abundance of finances there was no money to by much. No toys. But that didn’t stop us. Mark loved signing. Sooooo
He took wax paper and a comb. Figured out how to make music to help him sing . Use to
Sign on the streets and the park as the kids gather around him. He was really really good . Everyone kept always requesting different songs.
1958 the writer
At school the teacher gave the class an assignment to write about a flower, the sunflower. She asked for at least one paragraph. Mark the writer, wrote 5 pages.
The teacher didn’t believe he wrote it. Had our parents come in and told them they get a A for the work that was to be done by the students.
Our parents had no idea what the teacher was talking about. They didn’t write it. Teacher, well she had a hard time to believe that Mark wrote it all by himself. But he really did.
1964. Mark the artist.
We are now living in the states, renting from two brothers, a attorney and. Judge.
Well the attorney took an interests in his drawings and invested $500.00 in supplies for Mark to keep on drawing. Mark would draw a lot with charcoal. Beautiful drawings.
