It was with sadness that I learned

of Mac's passing. Our families were

always connected starting with our

grandfathers. And while I was at

USC studying journalism Mac was

kind and helpful when I covered

the legislature.My heartfelt

sympathy to you,his children,

and to Beth as well.

To the Gibson Family, especially Anne and Thomas whom I knew the best. Anne and I were neighbors in Landings Run and Thomas and I were in drama club at B.E. I'm sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for your family during this time of mourning.
