Alerus Financial commercial/business banker Mark Rios, read from Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture for yesterday's session of Literary Lunches.
Rios, originally from Hawaii, served in the military in active duty. He has a degree in education from the University of North Dakota. He has one daughter; she is a graduate of Red River High School. And his wife Sandy graduated from Grand Forks Central.
The Last Lecture is a collection 53 lectures and stories Pausch gave after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2007. Although Pausch knew he was going to die, he wanted other people to know who he was and he wanted his children to know about their father. Paush said that "We cannot change the cards we are dealt....just how we play the hand."
