In early September 1963, Macon and I were trucked off to The Baylor School for Boys, then a military academy, in Chattanooga, TN. His brother, Clark, followed a year later. It was a wild ride. They were two of my closest friends for many years. Now, both are gone. I miss them greatly. I believe Macon must have seen damn near every movie ever made. He was the true Moviegoer. Peace, brother.
