August 12, 2017 was a special day for Mark and his wife, Ann. First, the day began with a signing for Mark's book, "1917-2017: One Hundred Years of White Sox Baseball" at the Cornerstone Shop & Gallery located in Lake Geneva. Mark sold over 30 books to Cornerstone customers! Dominic, from suburban Chicago, purchased a book and spent time talking about his own connections with the White Sox with Mark.

On August 12, 1972, Ann and Mark were married at Five Holy Martyrs Catholic Church located in Brighton Park on the South Side of Chicago. The celebrant was Bishop Alfred Abromowicz. Their wedding reception was held at the Sabre Room with over 300 guests attending. On August 12, 2017, Ann and Mark celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church located in Lake Geneva, WI. The celebrant was Pastor Mark Danczyk. Here, Ann and Mark pose with Fr. Mark who gave blessings to them on their special anniversary. Thanks, Fr. Mark!

Mark signed a copy of his book for Barb, who happens to be a Lourdes High School graduate in Chicago. Interestingly, Mark's wife, Ann, also graduated from Lourdes High School. What a neat coincidence! Barb and her family are big White Sox fans and it was fun reminiscing about the Go-Go White Sox of the 50s. Thanks, Barb! Go ChiSox!

Ann and Mark topped off this special day with a nice dinner with family and friends at one of their favorite spots: Mars Resort on Lake Como in Lake Geneva. What a spectacular day! Lots of fun and wonderful memories - especially our 45th wedding anniversary!
