An Amazing Story

Heart felt, amazing account of Mark Hoyle's life written by his Dad. This boy is amazing as is his family. And the town of Swansea came through for him - the school administration and the doctors spoke for Mark and provided factual information in answering parents and teachers questions and fears about AIDS. I live in Swansea and grew up here. I can't say enough how proud I am that people were able to ask the questions they needed to, honestly express their fears, and be given answers from factual evidence so reason could prevail over fear and hysteria. I am still here because this is a great place to live and raise a family. The people make it great! Mark taught us all what is important.
