The team started the season hammering AA opponents which pleased most everyone in Ephrata. When Mark isn't cheering successful touchdowns he works at astronomy, abstract concepts and chemistry.
Astronomy is a favorite subject.
During the summer program, Mark particularly enjoyed a lecture presented by former astronaut Pinky Nelson. Dr. Nelson is a faculty member at the University of Washington in the Astronomy Department and a former shuttle astronaut. Mark wrote an article about the lecture for the September issue of DO-IT News. This summer Mark also watched his first meteor display when he traveled to North Bend to view the Perseid Meteor Shower. Next spring, Mark is planning to visit the UW observatory near Ellensburg.
