I recall Talus telling a story about Marko that occurred (according to Talus) when Marko was about 20 years old, which would make it around 1953. Marko was arrested for domestic violence (or something), resulting from a brawl with his wife or girlfriend during which he had dangled his infant daughter out a window. Marko was forced to undergo a competence hearing, which infuriated him. (Did you know Leo Krikorian?)

Ki Longfellow It's possible Marko could have gotten into a spattle with Susie. His wife was named Susan. I didn't meet him until 1961. He was 11 years old than me so he and Susie must have been kids. I can't imagine him dangling Belle out a window. But who knows? Yes, I knew Leo. He owned and manned The Kettle in Sausalito. We all hung in Leo's. Not an affable man. We ignored him.
