-------------------------
Mark A Bolte, 28, of OKC; son of Don and Joyce Bolte of Bentonville, AR; brother of Matt Bolte; environmental specialist, State of Oklahoma, Federal Highway Admin.
When Mark Bolte was headed from Austin to OKC, his Texas Co-workers had this to say to his future boss: "You're getting a great big teddy beat." Strawberry blonde, 250 pounds, and 6 feet 4 inches, Mark was always willing to help someone with a problem, "He had a knack for telling if something was wrong (with a person)," said his mother, Joyce Bolte. "We all know he's watching over somebody."
A former altar boy at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Rogers, Arkansas, Mark graduated from high school with honors and 4 years of perfect attendance. An alum of the University of Arkansas, where he was a member of Lambda Chi, he graduated in 1990 with a degree in civil engineering. His hobby was model airplanes, which he hung everywhere in his apartment. Mark played basketball and golf, watched hockey, the Atlanta Braves, and Joe Montana, and remained a loyal Arkansas Razorback. An Eagle Scout, he worked with a troop in the city.
