IN-PERSON & ZOOM MEETING : Big Bend and Bill Zaner
About Mark Kurusz
Mark Kurusz has been a member of the Rotary Club of West Austin since 2011. He was president of the Club 2020-2021, currently serves as chair of the Service Committee, and is a Paul Harris fellow. One of his goals has been to give at least one talk a year to the Club. Mark grew up in New Jersey, obtained a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in 1971, got married the same year, and after spending five years in Hershey, Pennsylvania, moved to Galveston, Texas in 1997 but retired to Austin in 2006. He and his wife, Helen, had three daughters, are blessed with seven grandchildren, and, as of seven weeks ago, one great-grandchild. His talk will feature a visit to Big Bend National Park, a videoclip of a noted landscape painter named Bill Zaner, and will close with a few paintings placed side-by-side with views in the park.
