They traveled the northern part of Idaho every week when they could get away. They loved going to Mackay, Idaho in the summer where Bobby’s eldest brother lived. They were part of the Mackay clan. There were always stories to tell, lots of coffee drinking, laughter, and of course there was always that ‘Hardy boy smile’.
