Great interview Mark. Nice to hear a man who has as much passion for the Silver Cloud as I do. Wish I could afford his beautiful books, but I am saving up for my first Silver Cloud and don’t want to dip into the cloud bank. Great photo of him and his Silver Cloud bye the way.
Hi Tim – Thank you for your comments. Keep saving for that dream!
