Our son Mark, and his beloved dog Buster. He was born on 31st March 1972, making him a Arian. He was born on a Good Friday, and as far as I can work out, that has never happened since.

After school he joined my firm, making him the third in direct line of Burns family to join. My Father was there for over 35 years, then me, and finally Mark. He worked in the canteen for about four years, but after getting a hand infection had to leave.

He then went to work as a security guard for a few years, but after one of the firms collapsed went out of work. At that time, Mary needed a lot of looking after, as she was very ill. Mark agreed to be her carer for a while, and got a small allowance from the government for it. That is how it stands today.

His interests are films, and looking after his dog buster.

He is still single, so if any young ladies would like to take him off my hands, please feel free!

The photo above is Mark and next to him Buster who rarely leaves his side if he has anything to do with it.
