Mac and I spent a lot of time at freedom field, talking, flying and having fun. He loved flying his cub the last few years of flying. He tried to teach me how to land his tail dragger. I always laughed and said I was happy with the tricycle landing gear. He flew with me on my bananza and always had some type of instruction. He was a remarkable and very smart man, He was versed on many subjects and always had an opinion. I know he will be missed by many. Eddie we always joked about what Don was doing when the fishing shed sunk and Mac had to pay the fine. Mac always talked of his heritage and the trip to stone mountain to meet his clan. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich 1987 he gave me several years ago. Mac I know you are celebrating in heaven now. He was not ashamed to voice his Christian beliefs no matter who was present. Prayers with the entire family.
