I am saddened to hear of Mr. Mac's death. I drive by Maris Grove almost daily and I always thought of him and Ruth! I was one of his former runners and because of him, I made my way to his alma mater, IUP, I started teaching mathematics and loved coaching cross-country and track. He loved making 800-meter runners and enjoyed winning the 4x800 meter relay! I will always remember his love of root beer candy, girl scout thin mints (my favorite), and of course smoking!! I never smoked but always laughed how we were the same in everything else!! I really loved talking about track with him, he was always so proud of all his runners. He will be missed.
