We first met Mark Will when he was 25 years old and that was about 25 years ago. He was a mature young man and seem to have his life, and career together and on the right track.  His hit records at the time included Jacobs Ladder, the # 1 hit “I Do Cherish You” and the song that was climbing the charts at that time in `1998, turned out to be an all time favorite of mine. “Don’t Laugh at Me”
