Mayor Traub were hosts to numerous visitors at the ribbon cutting ceremony. (Captain Traub was Warren Traub?s father.)
Devoted to community service, interested in furthering the community, C. C. was a charter member of the Bay-Waveland Rotary Club, founded in the mid-20?s.
As all these statistics show, he was very active in his community and in the business world. Other statistics show that C. C. was not all business but that he enjoyed life as well.
He was a charter member of the Pass Christian Isles Golf Club, where he enjoyed the game of golf; a charter member of the Bay-Waveland Yacht Club after it reorganized into its present location, where he enjoyed boating; and active at the fairgrounds, where he enjoyed the horses? running.
He was laid to rest August 21, 1979.
So much for statistics.
According to friends who remember him well, C. C. McDonald,
Sr., was much more of a man than statistics show.
Among the comments gathered about him are these: C. C. was a dear, sweet person. He had a natural friendliness and was . kind to everyone. He always had time for people. He was quite a fellow.
Katrina and C. C" McDonald reared four sons - Dave, C. C.Jr.,? Fred and James, all residents today, with their own families, of Bay St. Louis.

C.C., Sr. was a strong supporter of young people even after his own boys were grown. One man said, ?His support of young people may have helped to keep his boys in the community. It is rare that so many members of one family remain in a community of this size. So many young people find work in a larger community once they are grown. But C. C., Sr. was a family leader his sons respected, setting ah example for them, and continuing to set an example for his grandchildren."
Very active in the Methodist Church, C. C., Sr. was an extemely strong supporter of Sunday ScH-
