Vanderbeek, Mark, 1992-1995
Biography/History: “Mark was born in 1955 and grew up with two older sisters and a younger brother in southeastern Nebraska, near Adams, in Gage County. The farm was predominantly a grain operation, with some livestock. At the time of our interview, Mark lived in Kansas City, Missouri, and worked for a printing company as an electronic prepress specialist and Macintosh consultant. Mark killed himself in 1994 in the midst of what he described as ‘an ongoing struggle with clinical, hereditary depression.’ In this brief narrative, Mark describes how his rural and small-town roots continued to shape his achievement-centered identity.” — Will Fellows, 1996
