Marc's birthday is coming up February 13th, and Jodie recieved a beautiful Valentine's Day card from him, made in the prison where he has 520 days left on his sentence. He was also featured in The Province newspaper nominating him for the job of consulting to the Washington State Liquor Control Board to help them produce and distribute legal marijuana.
