Our beloved Walton McJordan, Jr. “Mac”, age 87

Mac started flying at the age of 17 by bringing
hunters into duck blinds then made a living by transporting tropical fish from
South America. He then joined the Army in 1959 and flew for Air America for 3
years in Cambodia and Laos. He then flew commercial airlines for Southern

During his life Mac started and worked many
businesses including KOA Campgrounds, Brown Pelican Restaurant, Cypress

trophies. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend and is flying with
angels now.
