Marcus Berquist requiescat in pace.

Marc, a friend, teacher and colleague of mine, passed away this morning.  He was the husband of MODG founder Laura, who is also our consultant.  Marc was easily in the handful of most brilliant men I have known; his mind was perhaps the most formal and precise among them.  I remember hearing about Marc before I met him, and his reputation had me both fascinated and intimidated.  I found him to be humble and ever the generous teacher.  One thing I did notice when I first met him: his pants--they were otherwise fine but showed wear in just one place . . . at the knees.
