Mark Hofmann is my (ex-)uncle (by marriage, not by blood). Needless to say, the whole affair isn't something we really bring up at family gatherings. From a historical/detached standpoint the events are all certainly interesting and scandalous and fascinating, I'm sure. My main reaction to it all is just sadness at the pain he put his wife and kids through because of it, and how they've been able to show strength by moving forward in their own lives. It's times like this I feel extremely blessed that our own extended family is close-knit enough that we can support each other.
