Memories from the 'hood

A special thanks to Glenn Hirsch for sharing his memories

TOPIC: The Marc Dictionary
"Pulling a Marc" (n, v) - taking something small and using your resources to make it better
Example from Glenn: I thought the other day, and told my family, that I was thinking of "pulling a Marc." By way of explanation, I remember Marc telling me one day that he had gone to see a movie. After watching whatever he went to see, being at a mult-plex he decided to take advantage of his admission ticket and just make it a double feature by wandering in to see a different movie there. So this phrase to me means that if you have good logistics, you can make any outing to the movies a double feature if you have the desire.

A STORY FROM GLENN:
One of the hopes that I had when we moved from Pennsylvania was that we would have the kind of neighbors that I had when I grew up. Then it was quite common to wander over to someone's house at almost any time and unannounced. The street we lived on in Pennsylvania, it seemed that everyone preferred to keep to themselves, which seemed foreign to me. It did not take long to recognize that my hope was realized when we moved to Carriage Lakes. There were kids in the cul-de-sac and adults frequently outside and interacting. The ring leader in all of this seemed to be Marc. His interest in others and that constant smile were so appreciated. He could always be relied upon whenever there was a need, no matter time of day. You could always tell when Marc would be on his way, either by his distinctive taste in apparel ( how about that tye-died Yugoslavian Olympic shirt?) or his characteristic gait (the waddle he had because of his bow-leggedness.) Marc was a true friend in all senses of the word and will be loved and missed forever.
