Macon was a student at Barstow Elementary School in Detroit from 1940-1945. In 1945 he attended Miller High School located on Jay and Dubois. He was a very good student who graduated with a perfect attendance record in June 1950. Commencement exercises were at the Rackham Auditorium in Detroit. The class marched to Mendleson’s “War March of the Priesys. He had an older brother named Ben. He is mentioned in the book A Place Called Miller. His best friend may have been Sam Lawson although he was generally thought well of by all of his classmates. In his neighborhood his best friend was probably Eugene Leverett and he was also very friendly with Omie Johnson one of his classmates throughout his school years. He had all of the gifts—academic, athletic and artistic. He may have been drafted into the military at some point but I don’t believe he would have enlisted.
