June and Mark started at Eastern in the fall of 1975 but their paths didn’t cross until sophomore year, when Mark was a student assistant in June’s chemistry lab. “My whole world changed and I would never have it any other way,” she says
“Mark and I became active in the Biology Club, which provided us time to get to know one another. Trips to New York and Boston quickly proved that we both loved to travel and experience new places together.” After the couple graduated in 1979, Mark left for Chicago to continue his education in medical technology. They stayed together and were married on May 2, 1981.
“Over the 37 years we have been married,” said Mark, “June and I have experienced many ups and downs and we have had great times together with our children and family.” That family now includes their son, Nick, and his fiancé, Cristin, their daughter, Lara, and her husband, Dustin, and their first grandchild, Henry. They have also been able to explore their love of travel, visiting Canada, France, England, Ireland and the Caribbean. “Our match at Eastern has given us friendship, a confidant and love for a lifetime!” said Mark.
