Why Didn’t Vicki and Mark Contribute?
When I asked Mark Presco why he didn’t contribute to Tom Snyder’s biography of our late sister, he said; “I couldn’t think of anything nice to say about her.” Am I mistaken? Is this a line out of Chandler’s ‘Farewell My Lovey’ ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farewell,_My_Lovely Mark insisted I sign that Exclusive Rights contract that Tom Snyder…
