. Jay Hoyle rallies
for son By Joseph Motta .
Jay Hoyle's voice swells with pride when he speaks of his son Mark. He tells you that they shared some very special times together and that he's "cherished an the moments" with his son. Just a few years ago Hoyle, a member of St. Dominic's parish, Swansea, and a fifth grade teacher at Attleboro's St. John the Ev.angelist School, might never have giveria second thought to writing a bOOK. But in 1985, Mark Gardiner Hoyle, a hemophiliac, was diagnosed as having AIDS. The bright, popular and athletic boy had contracted the disease either through a blood transfusion or a factor VIII treatment for hemophilia. He died October 26, 1986, at age 14. And Jay Hoyle recently became a published author. His book , "Mark'" , puBlished earlier this month, is a testimonial to his son, to the boy's courage in facing the feared and always fatal syndrome and to Swansea'sloving response to the tragedy. An area store carrying his book, Hoyle said, sold out three shipments of 50 copies each Turn to Page Six
