A memory I will carry of Mr. Marcus. When I competed for IMsBB, Mr. Marcus and Mama walked up to the bootblack area and Mr. Marcus wanted me to do is shoes. My line was out the door and I only had time for one more shine. Mr. Marcus was adament that he wanted me to do his shoes and the last person who I would have done, graciously allowed Mr. Marcus to take her spot for last shine. I remember him saying that I had a great smile and pressence and that I could do his shoes any time because it was so much better than an airport shine.
Rest in Peace Mr. Marcus.
