Mark, Sheri & Madeleine
Mark and Sheri
Mark is a Graphic Designer for the College of Engineering at NC State University. He received a BA in Journalism from UNC-Chapel Hill (Go Heels!) in 1980.

Sheri is a Facilities Planner for the Wake County Public School system. She received a BA in Art and Home Economics from Meredith College in Raleigh, NC in 1980.

Mark and Sheri met in High School 28 years ago in Raleigh, North Carolina and have been going strong ever since. But enough about them. Let’s get back to Maddie!
The Site Designer
As a graphic designer for an engineering college, Mark has created many web sites on a professional basis. He has also created a few vanity sites, such as this one and another one for his truck.
 
Mark created this site using DreamWeaver MX, Photoshop 7, GraphicConverter 4.3 and BBEdit 6.5 on an ancient, but very customized, Power Macintosh G3-300 running OS 9.21. Migration to OS X and capable hardware will be happening in the not-too-distant future.

Why yes, Madeleine does have her own e-mail address. No indulgence is too great ...
 
Skiing
Mark and Sheri have been skiing since college. Their first trip was 3 buses of UNC students to Killington, Vermont during 1978 Christmas break. The journey began with a 35-gallon trash can of “PJ” in the aisle that was empty before they hit Virginia. Twelve short hours later, they arrived at the Bardwell, a giant bunkhouse in Rutland. It was pouring rain. They were hooked!
 
Now, they fly to the resort and stay within walking distance to the lifts. They take a “major” trip out west every year and try to supplement that with some long weekends to nearby resorts.
 
Sheri’s mom comes to house-sit and enjoy lots of quality time with Maddie. Although she still has a ways to go, Madeleine thinks her training is coming along very well! After all, it took only three trips for her to learn that Maddie sleeps in the bed with her Grandma.
 
Mark and Sheri’s first western trip was to Breckenridge in 1986 and they branched out from there. They have a casual list of destinations that they are working on, but they keep returning to Crested Butte and Telluride.
