Parker County Today: How did you
get into your occupation?
MM: I am retired now and have been
retired for 16 years. I taught high
school math for 30 years. Teaching
was to be temporary while I got my
master’s degree at SMU. Eventually, I
began coaching golf, became the UIL
District Golf Tournament director and
then a high school athletic director.
I had so much fun teaching I stayed
with it. Can you blame me? I was
paid to play golf every day.
PCT: If you weren’t doing the job you
are doing now, what would you do?
JC: Travelling the world. PCT: What is your favorite novel?
MM: “The Call of the Wild”,
“Watership Down” and “Old Yeller”
are my favorite novels. Okay, that
explains my passion for helping
animals.
PCT: What is your definition of your PCT: What do you do to decompress?
MM: I decompress all day long play-
ing golf, kayaking, taking my dogs for
long walks, swimming and riding my
bike.
PCT: What is something people don’t
know about you?
MM: No one knows (until now) that
when I was very young, my mother
assigned me to stay with my father all
day to keep me out of trouble. By the
time I was in my teens, I had learned
all kinds of plumbing and electrical
skills, plus I could repair cars, wash-
ers, dryers, and air conditioners. With
that experience, I bought and reno-
vated ten townhouses, which turned
into profitable rental property. My
mom was a very wise lady.
PCT: What would you most like to be
remembered for?
MM: I would most like to be remem-
bered as a person who was always
ready to help anyone, and as some-
one who tried to show others how
much they are appreciated.
PCT: What is your favorite way to
pay it forward?
MM: I have especially enjoyed shar-
ing the fun of the Parker County
Bachelor and Bachelorette fundraisers
with all the volunteers who give their
time to the animal shelter. That is one
of the ways I pay it forward. I am on
the executive leadership council and
chair one of the three divisions of the
Giving Second Chances Campaign
for the Weatherford Parker County
Animal Shelter. I also support Parker
County Pets Alive, Parker Paws, and
the Carity Foundation.
PCT: Who would you most like to
have lunch with, living or deceased?
MM: I would love to have lunch
with RGB. (The notorious Ruth Bader
Ginsburg.) I’d ask if she had any
idea at the start of her career that she
would become one of the most influ-
ential women in our country.
PCT: If you weren’t doing the job you
are doing now, you would be....
MM: If I weren’t retired now, I would
be finding a way to be retired.
