Rainy weather atop Grandfather Mountain could not dampen the spirits of Maxwells who gathered at the site where Clan Maxwell Society was born. It was a special gathering this year, as all the clans paused to pay tribute to our founder, Scotty Maxwell, who died early in 2002. Scotty played a key role in the formation and development of the Grandfather games, and a memorial service was held in McRae Meadows on the Sunday morning of this year’s games.
