Boyd McKeown, Marietta High School's Music Man

 Boyd McKeown. Or also known as "Mr. Mack" or "The Band Teacher" I think he was the Marietta High school Band Director my whole time at MHS. He taught his bands to do it right with music and marching. When they marched out on the field you felt a certain thrill or excitement. They pumped the spectators' adrenaline. It is ironic that now he wears a hearing aid. I run into him from time to time, he looks the same as I remember him in the late 1950s. He has brought up my blog Chicken-fat to me without me mentioning it. It took me by surprise because I am invisible to most people. I wasn't even a student of his. He had a keen mind.
