They were introduced to each other by his sister, Nancy, and her brother, Olin, and were married December 3, 1949. Mac worked in many jobs, factories, the railroad and became a master carpenter. He worked hard, did whatever he had to, and worked however many jobs he needed to in order to make ends meet. Mac was not an educated man, but he was a very smart man.
