664	My memories of my grandfather, "Mac", were of a quiet man, an intelligent man, and a great baseball fan. I remember him listening to the Reds games on the radio and he would go to Cincinnati (150 miles) on days off to see the Reds play. I really tried but never managed to beat him in a game of checkers. If a someone asked grandpa a question, grandma usually answered it, so "Mac" maintained his reputation for being "quiet".
