Call the park and leave a message...they will get it to him. Or, visit and speak directly to him. I've known him since 1981. Don't know him well, but I remember him from the old days when I worked there. He built the cabin that is used today for Apple Butter. The cabin was initially a showcase for the fall crafts festival of, I think, 1982, and was filled with SDC made arts and crafts. It was offered for sale. No buyers, so they moved it to it's present location and have used it as a shop over the years. The cabin was a set for a Christmas special that featured Kenny Rogers in the early '90's. The loft was used as a "bedroom" for some kids while Kenny sang a Christmas song to them. Anyway, Mark has a wry sense of humor...Ozarkian through and through...and he built most of the cabins at the Wilderness campground, too, plus many of the newer log buildings on the park. I don't know if he would be willing to moonlight on the side, but you can try. Few possess the skill he has, so a log building today can be very expensive. Interested in log building? Check out the Website of Charles McRaven, who now lives out east, I think in Virginia. He is a former Branson guy, and was a writer who wrote articles in the old OZARKS MOUNTAINEER magazine, as well as the 1976-78 programs sold at Shepherd of the Hills. Charles probably is one of the top log builders in the country, and is very expensive regarding his services.
