Ilze Kadegis was the person who discovered Howard love, first for her and then for cannabis. It was 1966 when Miss Kadegis gave Mr. Marks a taste of marijuana, and later introduced him to Graham Plinston Drug dealer, the student.
Plinson was arrested when he tried to bring in a car loaded with hashish from Germany, Howard did not think twice and went to bring the shipment himself, something that someone else would have panicked, but he seems to have liked , since he sold everything to Saleem Malik, who would later be his great contact, and he wanted to repeat.
Kadegis and Howard were married in 1967, and they even had a daughter, Myfanwy, although the marriage did not last long and they each went their own way. The business had already started and could not be stopped now, in fact at that time it was beginning to take off.
In college he also met Judy Lane, the woman in his life and mother of 3 of his children, who fell for the charm and talent that Howard gave off. It was 1971 and Mark’s studies stagnated, at the same time that his race as a camel.
