A visit from Mark

Today we had a visit from Mark Anderson-Nissen, who is the son of our dear friend, John Nissen, who passed away in October 2013 (see my blog titled "Vigils" dated Nov. 18, 2013). Mark lives in Denver, and is enrolled in a program of Physical Therapy at the Anschutz campus of the University of  Colorado. For the past several weeks he has been doing an internship at the Sports Clinic of the University of Colorado in Boulder. Today, he got off work a bit early, so he drove up to see Betsey. Betsey had worked for Mark's dad at Bennington College back in the early 1980's, and it had been a long time since they had last seen each other. Mark might be able to help in some way at some point in the future, and it was great that he and Betsey reconnected. He is a very sweet man and will make a great physical therapist.
