Former mayors and prominent Washington, D.C., figures spoke about Mark Plotkin’s legacy in the District during a memorial service at GW.
The memorial service for journalist, political commentator and George Washington University alumnus Mark Plotkin, B.A. ’69, was planned out five years ago on a napkin.
Mr. Plotkin’s close friend, D.C. Councilmember Jack Evans (D), planned the service with Mr. Plotkin during a conversation at Morton’s Steakhouse in Georgetown where Mr. Evans asked Mr. Plotkin what he should do in the event of Mr. Plotkin’s death.
So, everything from the location (Mr. Plotkin wanted the memorial service to be at GW) to the songs played during Wednesday’s memorial service in Jack Morton Auditorium was requested by Mr. Plotkin himself. Mr. Evans described Mr. Plotkin as “a true friend but a real character.”
