Clan Mackay Webmaster

---

Jim Voelker, your webmaster, preparing to answer for the Mackays at The Calling of The Clans, Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina, July 2003.

Jim was born in New York City to Anthony Voelker and Elizabeth McKay. Elizabeth was born near Glasgow and came to the United States as a small child.

He has lived in New York, Florida, Connecticut, North Carolina, California and Georgia. These moves were with IBM where he spent his career and where, in 1963, he wrote his first computer program.

He attended his first highland game in 1979 in Syracuse, New York.

Jim has been a member of the Clan Mackay Society since 1982, having joined at the Grandfather Mountain Highland, North Carolina, Games.

He has been an officer since the early 1990s, serving as Secretary, Membership

Chairman, President, and currently state Commissioner for Georgia as well as Webmaster.

He presently resides in Woodstock, Georgia with his wife, Lois, who has been the ultimate supporter of his clan activities. For many years, she was responsible for catering the

picnic lunch at one of our major games in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Jim and Lois have one child, Allison, who lives with her husband Tom and their two sons, Odin and Magnus, in San Francisco.

One of his most memorable experiences with the clan was when he was asked to answer for Clan Mackay at The Calling of the Clans at the games at Grandfather Mountain. It is a truly moving experience to observe, but even more so when participating, as anyone who has seen it will tell you.
