Dear Dave, It is now one year since the death of Mark. Much has happened in 
the interim, and Rachel barbour has no doubt by now informed you of the 
National Film Board release of the video related to and dedicated to Mark.  
I was deeply moved by the responses from your students, and recently by the 
account from Scott Zobrist relating the rescue of his downed comrade in 
Bosnia.  I don't know if you agree or are able, but I would like at this 
time for you to consider releasing the following condensed text relating to 
my son onto the list.  It is a very condensed version of some of Marks 
letters and my reflections from the book, which is still unpublished but "in 
the mill". I put the Nat. Film Board address at the end, as there is a very 
attractive offer by them for anyone who is interested in studying the 
responses from front line soldiers without any restrictive military edicts.  
The camera crew was given free rein and came up with a superb documentary.  
My best to you,  Brian  BI
Due to my mailer I must submit these to you in separate letters which I 
shall call isfeld01, isfeld02 etc.  acknowledgement and comment would be 
deeply appreciated.
