I'm so glad to see this series of photos exists online: http://phillyimc.org/en/node/42544
And this little video which he shot with quite possibly one of the very first digital cameras ever made (it used a 3.5 x 5 floppy for storage): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msKLAAUetOA
These make me smile through my tears.

It is very odd to me how much and how often I still think of Marlon after - I was just going to write: "all these years" - but I guess maybe I answered some of my questioning for myself. Because it's doesn't feel like years ago that he was here - but rather like just recently.
Marlon has long since entered my family's lexicon. He often had dinner with us and at one Sunday Dinner he stood up in some way which suddenly broke his chair. We still have that chair, since repaired, and the smashing it event still comes up in routine dinner conversation. The kids were much smaller then and for some reason it has always stuck in their heads as this tremendously humorous episode.
And his mention, even now, leads to a 'telling various Marlon stories' marathon at the dinner table.
BTW: How does this system know that I am not simply a Very Clever robot who Can interpret and then re-type the cryptogram puzzle? Wouldn't it be obvious, well to anyone other than some Yahoo, that I am smarter than it is?
I just watched that YouTube video online again. I wish I could make up for everything I never got to learn about him and share with him.
