Guys,
Had a call last night from the mother of Mark Conlon (sp?). He passed a few days ago at his home in Bensalem, PA and she found my name and number among his things.

While Mark and I didn’t serve on the same teams he called me sometime back because we both lived in PA and there aren’t that many of us ex-CCT’s up this way.

Mrs. Conlon did relate that he had not been well for sometime. The services had already taken place and that he leaves a son.

Don’t have any more details than that but she can be reached at 215 633 0447.

Seems as though the CCA site is being reworked so I’d appreciate it if this could be passed on.
