I fell in love with Mary Mackin at the age of 12 she was the prettist young lady I had ever met and I would stop by her house on the way to the swinning pool,
The Bond family lived next door to the Hubbards on Carter Avenue and watched Dr. Don Hubbard grow up fall in love with this beautiful young lady that he married. I watched as Don painted his Dodge automobile with cans of Black spray before he left going to Medical School. I aways enjoyed Mary and your families visits to Carter Avenue. His Mom Mrs. May Hubbard always made the very best Tolle House choclate chip and would always have a plate of them when ever you all came. The Bond Family has great memories of all of the Hubbards and are very saddened by your loss love to all the famalies.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. Although Carl and Don knew each other for years at Piedmont Hospital, we both met Mary in Rabun County. Don helped with planting grapes at our fledgling vineyard, while Mary would join the three of us for lunch or dinner. We stopped by Shellman Bluff for lunch on a beautiful spring day. Celebrated Don's 80th (?) birthday in the mountains above Lake Burton. Enjoyed surprise visits at our winery tasting room. So many fond memories of a special couple.
