About Marc »

HOME: Midcoast Maine
COLLEGE: University of Maine
OCCUPATION: High school teacher and coach
AGE: Old enough to remember Flutie to Phelan, Arnie's Army, and Dave Winfield signing with the Yanks. Young enough to have no knowledge of a Bruins Stanley Cup or any real concept of what Bear Bryant was like on the sidelines.
IDEAL GOLF ROUND: Lou Holtz, Bernie Williams, and Jack Nicklaus
