Happy Hour - Mac’s Steak & Seafood<br />
By Ralph Kauffman<br />
Despite the hot temperature and vacation<br />
season, we had another excellent turnout<br />
of Mavericks at the August Happy<br />
Hour. About 44 Mavs gathered at Mac’s Steaks<br />
and Seafood restaurant on Highway 121 in Colleyville.<br />
Early arrivals socialized in the bar and<br />
then moved to the dining area as more people<br />
arrived. Those who attended Parade this year had stories to tell<br />
about their experiences en route and at Parade.<br />
As Happy Hour regulars know, this event is one of the best for<br />
new (and not so new) members to get to meet and talk with<br />
other members. Among new and relatively new attendees<br />
this month were Pat Patel with his <strong>2011</strong> Boxster, also Debbie<br />
and Randy Leal with his and hers Porsches - his: 2005 Turbo S,<br />
and hers: 2002 C4 - and their guest Lee. Another new attendee<br />
was Dave Nelson driving his <strong>2011</strong> Turbo S. Some longer-term<br />
Mavericks who were present this month included Carey<br />
Spreen of Rallymaster fame who said this was his first Happy<br />
Hour in years, also Frank and Lois Olson (2003 Boxster) who<br />
are 13 year members but this was only their 2nd Happy Hour,<br />
Bobby and Mimi Norbin, Frankie Andrew, Denny and Christy<br />
Payne, Alan Lage, Clarence Wyatt, Gordie and Sylvia Cohen,<br />
and Myra and Jerry Sutton. Myra and Jerry were among Mavs<br />
Photos by Barbara Kauffman<br />
who brought home numerous awards from Parade this year.<br />
We also had prospective member Glen Weber who currently<br />
drives an E550 Mercedes, but was lured to Happy Hour by<br />
John Hamilton who is in the process of interesting him in converting<br />
to Porsche – way to go John! Happy Hour should be a<br />
great way to convince prospects to sign on to the world’s best<br />
marque!<br />
In addition to socializing, everyone enjoyed Mac’s varied<br />
dinner menu, including bottomless salad, the large variety of<br />
draft beers and wines, and the convivial atmosphere.<br />
Next month’s Happy Hour will be Thursday, <strong>September</strong> 15, at<br />
Trinity Hall Pub, 5321 Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, TX (214-887-<br />
3600). As usual all are welcome. We hope to see you all there.<br />
Clarence Wyatt, Christy and Denny Payne,<br />
Alan Lage who is in from Germany<br />
Mavericks (Frank & Lois Olson, Gordie & Sylvia Cohen, Frankie<br />
Andrew, BJ Harvey & Glen Weber) enjoy a great<br />
Happy Hour at Mac’s.<br />
