I have asked about "Johnny Mac" over the years and nobody I would ask seemed to know what happened to him. was saddened to hear of his passing and hoped that in the modern age of Facebook and online reunion forums that I would some day run across him and find out where he'd been all those years. I knew him at Cutler and Fitch and he was always a happy guy. I knew his Mom when she work in the Principal's office at Fitch, and she was a nice lady.I'm sorry for his family's loss.
