My last name starts with Mc so I shortened it down to the Mac.I have been married 4 times 3 women. I have 3 children 2 girls and 1 boy, they are all grown OH HAPPY DAY !!! I have 4 grandsons and 1 step granddaughter. And I basically worked in the oil fields and drove semi truck all my life. And I am retired now. Besides playing spades I enjoy playing Texas Hold'em and going fishing... My favorite 2. Where are you from, where do u live now? Born in Louisiana and lived there until 14 years ago. Moved to Indiana. Love the snow and nice summers here. The main reason I moved to Indiana was to be with the luckiest girl in the world"eo1995" The reason she is the luckiest girl is I said yes when she asked me to marry her. 3. After coming into suicide lounge 4, what made you stay? What keeps you in gazers? Lots of nice friendly people and had lots of fun. Play spades with a lot of friends and to have fun 4. When do you play? Days, or hours? When I can and if I'm not fishing or using the weed eater my wife got me for my birthday. Or when my wife isn't on the computer. 5. What is your favorite game? Regular anything goes 6. What is your least favorite game? Dynomite spades and wooden nickel 7 What advice would you give to a new member or someone wanting to join gazers? Just play to have fun and make friends. Don't take the game so serious not like you going to win a million dollars. It's just a GAME. If you get burnt out on spades take a break because there is more to life than spades. 8. Do you have a special memory of something that occurred in gazers that you want to share with gazers? Since I have been a gazer there has been a lot of happenings and good memories. But the one that stands out was the night that I think all the gazers were playing in RICKS HONOR that would make anyone proud to be a gazer. Friends forever Happy spading See ya at the table.
