Markin Glen County Park was donated to the public by the Markin family, founders of Kalamazoo's taxi manufacturer Checker Motors. The west section of the park is one of my favorite places for Spring wildflowers. The east section of the park has a swimming beach, RV campground, picnic shelters, and paved trails.
I teach economics at Kalamazoo College. My wife is also an economist. We were on sabbatical in Europe for the 2014-15 academic year. (Salamanca, Spain, followed by Oxford, UK.) We were in Uruguay for the 2006-7 academic year.
