"Folks don't know him as Leroy McClure in the entertainment world, but rather as Roy Mack.... But few know that Roy is a New Brunswick boy who has really accomplished much in the world of make-believe.... He attended Bayard School and then entered the old high school on Livingston avenue where the present Roosevelt Junior High stands."
