OpinionFielder’s Choice Tribute to Mr. Mackey My son Andy said it best – “No one loved Marshall Academy more than Mr. Mackey.” Mackey Rodgers, 70, died Wednesday of last week after suffering a stroke. His funeral service was Saturday. Close to Nowhere Imelda and snow! • My friend Marion has the most amazing shoe collection! It’s much better than mine! Pop has often called me “Imelda,” after Imelda Marcos, wife of the Phillipines’ president, Ferdinand Marcos. The Preacher’s Corner ‘Feeding the five thousand’ is gratifying Members of my congregation assist in a supper ministry for the community sponsored by St. Joseph’s Church. On Thursday evenings, every other month, we prepare and serve a meal in the parish hall of St. Joseph’s Church. It is called the Garden Café. I salute the nuns at St. Joseph’s for conceiving this idea. The sisters are a joy to know, and their commitment and energy to helping people in this community is boundless.
