Hi All,
As many of you already know, Mark (yes the same Mark we grew up with) did more than his share giving his time to and supporting many worthwhile charities. To honor Mark and give something back to him for all he did for us a few of his classmates David Richardson, Bob Carter, myself, and a couple of others John Jones (74) and Bobby Glasgow (OKC) started a golf tournament to raise money for charities Mark believed in. Over the first twelve years the tournament has given about $500,000 to The Jesus House Ministery (OKC) and The Willow Springs Boys Ranch (Chandler). Another classmate Harvey Hill has handled the finiancial responsibility since day one. We will have the 13th annual Mark Liddell Memorial in September at Belmar Golf Club in Norman.
Many Tigers play each year and others just come for a mini reunion and catch up. I want to invite everyone to come out and help us honor Mark, one of the best of us who has been called home by the Lord.
