Mark & snakeA.jpg (25666 bytes) This is Mark Wilson with his snake "Georgette". Mark said "She seemed to get me through the lines at the PX faster. That was until they asked me not to bring her back. She went on to protect my locker when I was on a mission. She made a great guard dog, HA!".

Here is a wonderful picture of Mark, Rhonda, Jensen the Lab, and Bud the Shepherd.  Mark and Rhonda have remained K-9 people - they raise Leader Dogs for the Blind.  This couldn't be a more fitting tribute to Mark's old partner in Mine Work.
