~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.

When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
according to EOC it was 08.15.04 that seems right...

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
spent 10 days at childrens hospital with my 7yo daughter who had gotten E coli

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC

You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
Uppercumberland area of Middle, TN

How did you initially hear about F@H?
I was looking for a distributed client after 4 years of doing "RC64"

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
Just because....
I have lost 3 grand parents to Cancer...one beat it twice b4 the 3rd got her(3 strike rule???)

What do you do for a living?
I work for an Industrial distributor.

What do you do for fun?
Getting out in the outdoors.

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Doing things with my kids

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
It is an XP2400 with winXP not much...I have better rigs folding but it is the placement of the machine and that is the reason I use it...

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
Yes, they are not much tho...14 at home and 6 at work

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
Raise my kids and become become financially independant

If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
I am not a very public person, I do not like the "lime Light"

My daughter is not out of the woods yet.
Her kidneys may still fail

We went to the Nephrologist last week
he called yesterday wanting more tests done today.

Mark620 · 01-17-07, 09:13 PM

also my mother just had half her nose hacked off - skin cancer.

TollhouseFrank · 02-02-07, 09:22 AM

ouch mark. things going better in your family?

Mark620 · 02-02-07, 07:18 PM

Yes, My daughter's Nephrologist Called TODAY (02/02/07)
and said her second set of tests came back within normal parameters.
There are still some problems that should go away with time, your kidneys are
very slow to heal. He wants to monitor her quarterly for at least the next 3 years...

It looks like instead of spending $1,000 a month, I'm going to have to cut that number by three cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $999.97, but that's what sacrifice is all about.
