Marcus L. Beavers, born in Atlanta in 1941, was the first of two children born to Lee and Aline Beavers of Macedonia. In 1963, the family moved back to their home community. Marcus worked for the Georgia DOT for ten years (1971-1981), and for the Veterans Administration for eighteen years, retiring in 2001. He now devotes most of his time to study, writing, and travel. He and his wife, Myra, a true helper in various way to members of the family and community, continue to live in Macedonia. He is the co-author of “Buffington and Macedonia in Days Gone By.”

A child’s fantasy. Or is it?
